Michigan officials contact DOJ about monitors speaking to poll workers

LANSING — Attorneys with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office and Department of State made contact with the Department of Justice Tuesday, Nov. 3, after receiving reports that the department’s monitors were speaking with poll workers in Dearborn and Flint. DOJ monitors are largely limited to observing the voting process, with the precinct captain being their only point of contact at a polling location. But on Tuesday, monitors asked poll workers in Dearborn for copies of their training materials and monitors in Flint asked poll workers for information on how they were trained, said Kim Bush, a spokeswoman for state Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office. When state officials informed the DOJ’s Michigan coordinator about the issue, the coordinator said that was not how they were trained and the monitors would be spoken to directly to correct the situation, Bush said. She noted that the DOJ uses both its own employees and volunteers who are trained to monitor elections across the country. “Those people were then trained because it’s not their area of subject matter expertise,” Bush said of the volunteers. “As with any large group of volunteers, there’s likely going to be some people who make mistakes.” The office will continue
