The Republican National Committee sued the city of Detroit's Election Commission alleging they violated state law that requires there to be an equal amount of poll workers from each major political party.
FIRST ON FOX: The Republican National Committee is suing the Election Commission of the City of Detroit over allegations they violated state law by hiring more than seven times more Democratic poll workers than Republicans for the 2024 election. Michigan requires that the board of election commissioners 'shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party,' according to Section 168.
Detroit’s failure to hire Republican poll workers is the kind of bad-faith Democrat interference that drives down faith in elections,' RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
The lawsuit asked that the commission use 'appropriate practices and procedures to ensure the appointment of an equal number, as nearly as possible, of Republican and Democrat election inspectors,' and comply with state law by Oct. 15. The Detroit Election Commission did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
