Michigan’s Republican state Senate leader accused officials in a Detroit voting center of using “reprehensible” tactics on Election Day, calling for a full and independent audit of the vote count.

Aric Nesbitt, the president pro tempore of the Michigan Senate, said his wife was at the voting center on Nov. 3. Citing his wife’s account, Nesbitt said that election workers were refusing to count ballots when GOP poll observers were watching the process, and they would only count when Democrats were around.
