Michigan and its 16 electoral votes may prove crucial in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Though several news outlets have placed Michigan in Biden’s column, election officials were working to get an official complete count on Wednesday.

According to NBC News as of early Wednesday evening, about 150,000 of approximately 5.5 million ballots were left to be tallied.
Jordan Acker, a lawyer and University Michigan Board of Regents vice-chair, shared a video from inside the complex. A Reddit user reposting the video to the r/esist subreddit termed it, “Video of anti-democracy protesters in Michigan chanting “‘stop the count.'”
Acker’s tweet said, “A large number of trump “challengers” have decided to March down changing “stop the count” and banging on the door as they complete counting. Still can’t get back in.”

Several tweets shared on news correspondent accounts captured the agitators at the glass doors of the room where the counting was taking place. NBC News’ Steve Patterson described them as a “large, animated crush.”

Outside the TFC Center, Patterson’s colleague Heidi Przybyla characterized the action as “an increasing mob-like scene of self-proclaimed ‘poll watchers’ who say that they want to get access to the building.”

Police in Detroit worked to secure the scene. Detroit is expected to help Biden secure a larger margin in Michigan after all votes are finished counting.

I'm actually kind of glad this is happening. Leftists have been counting on right wingers staying home and taking it. This kind of thing is good because it shows them that the right is willing to make a loud and annoying presence if pushed far enough...and who knows after that, lol.

Leftists should think very hard about how far they take this.

They will take this to the very end #rightsideofhistory
 
I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted.

How many years has it been?

Then go to sleep and stop reading posts lol, do you need me to tell you that? Besides, it's not stupid to make a show of force when your political enemies are trying to subvert you. I appreciate that antifa showed us the way on this - don't let your enemies sleep peacefully. Let them know you're active and out there.

Oh sorry I shouldn't interrupt your nap, my bad

Honestly I’m still more scared of antifa and that’s fucking pathetic.

Might be because traditionally communists will still kill you if you are not communist enough or the right brand of communist. A bit like Islam in that way of thinking.
