While the poll-challenging courses are supposed to be explaining election law, what constitutes a legal challenge, and the rules a poll challenger must adhere to when challenging a ballot, Democrats in Michigan appear to have a much different take on the role or purpose of a poll challenger.

Instead of teaching Democrat Poll Challengers how to respond to potential voter fraud issues, they discourage them from challenging ballots, saying Republicans foolishly believe that challenging ballots will actually prevent the ballot from being counted. They encourage their poll challengers to report Republican and Independent poll challengers tied to election integrity groups to report them to the police and if they can’t find the police, go to the ICU thugs, who they claim “have our backs.” They also report that the City of Detroit will increase the number of ICU thugs from 20 to 40 at the Huntington Place, where absentee ballots will be processed on Tuesday.
