I’m here in TCF Center in Detroit for the first day of processing (but not counting yet) of absentee ballots. Started at 10 am.
There’s a ballot challenger here at TCF Center in Detroit where ballots are to be counted wearing a mask that looks like a horror movie mask, like from the Halloween/Friday the 13th movies. Unclear who he is with. – bei TCF Center

I just spoke with Detroit election official. He said the man with horror-movie mask at TCF Center shouting at poll workers was using racist language, something about slavery. (Detroit is 79% black city.)

They contacted police, who are here in TCF Center, to escort him out. – bei TCF Center

More photos I took of the woman causing a scene at TCF Center in Detroit, where absentee ballots are being processed today. She was a poll challenger, but refused to wear her mask properly over nose, even after she was asked to, said election supervisor.
