Hey @UMich , how about you stop calling in police to violently arrest students engaged in nonviolent protest? This is truly shameful.

The @MichiganDems are telling people they have already given #huwaida4umich the “raw data.” This is FALSE. The MDP only gave us their final data which includes all the manual adjustments they spent over 2 hrs making. That file had 174 more voters than were credentialed to vote.

MDP indicates it will NOT honor our request for expedited review of appeal.  Stalling until after the ballots are finalized is an affront to transparency  and accountability. !!READ THE APPEAL HERE!!

We are asking for the raw data from the VOATZ machine, incl time stamp & geolocation for each vote, plus the final list of properly credentialed voters. We are 100% ready to accept that we did not win, once we confirm the data. We don’t understand why the MDP won’t provide it.

@JohnnySacks @DebraHendler @UMich Hi Johnny. Your post read like you were in support of something similar happening here. If that’s not the case, that’s a relief and I thank you for clarifying! Unfortunately, we do see a lot of hate and calls for violence. It’s awful. We must raise our voices against it!
