On October 28th, 6 days prior to Election Day and the day BEFORE public testing of voting machies and a walk-through of the TCF were to take place, a representative of the Trump campaign Michigan Election Day Operations wrote the following letter to the City of Detroit Clerk:
Ask yourself what was the justification for conducting the voting machine accuracy test via Zoom on October 29, when an IN-Person walk through of the TCF Center the same day was A-OK?
COVID?
Remember: the " Swampy lawyers" keep screaming there's no evidence!"
Shall we wait for the response from the City of Detroit Clerk and see what THEY had to say?
