“I voted not to certify, and I still believe this vote should not be certified. Until these questions are addressed, I remain opposed to certification of the Wayne County results,” Hartmann said according to the affidavit obtained by JustTheNews.
“After the vote, my Democratic colleagues chided me and Mr. Hartmann for voting not to certify,” Hartman said.
“After the vote, the public comment period began and dozens of people made personal remarks against me and Mr. Hartmann. The comments made accusations of racism and threatened me and members of my family. The public comment continued for over two hours and I felt pressured to continue the meeting without a break,” she said.
The two were chided during a Zoom meeting by Ned Staebler, chief executive of TechTown. Staebler is a poll challenger at the TCF Center in Detroit.
“The Trump stain, the stain of racism that you, William Hartmann and Monica Palmer, have covered yourself in, is going to follow you throughout history.”
He claimed that the pair would “forever be known in southeastern Michigan as two racists who did something so unprecedented that they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Black voters in the city of Detroit.”
