A GOP poll observer in Detroit’s TCF Center in Michigan on Nov. 3 alleged that election workers didn’t disqualify any ballots, suggesting such a practice is highly unusual.

“I saw a ballot for Taniqua Haynes, it comes up in the computer as the wrong ballot number. They mailed her ballot number 5748, but that’s not what she sent back,” poll watcher Chris Schornak said in an interview. He said that his challenges were rejected by election officials: “They refused to put challenges in the electronic log.”
