During a recent council meeting, significant discussions emerged regarding allegations of voter fraud in the 2021 election. Council member Dura Hall raised concerns about the integrity of the election results, specifically questioning how Gabriela Santiago Romero received findings related to these allegations. Hall noted that he had provided a copy of the findings to Romero's office on May 22, while Romero had publicly stated she received them earlier on May 9.
Hall emphasized that the findings indicated a discrepancy in the number of absentee ballots, suggesting that the margin by which the election was won—60 votes—was not credible given the evidence of potential fraud. He referenced comments made by fellow council member Coleman Young, who cautioned against any violent reactions to the allegations, asserting that the council had been \"cold busted\" regarding the integrity of the election process.
The discussion also touched on broader implications, with Hall mentioning that he had shared this information with former President Donald Trump, who he claimed now possesses proof of electoral misconduct in Detroit. The meeting concluded with a public comment period, where attendees continued to express demands for election integrity.
This meeting highlights ongoing tensions surrounding election processes and the scrutiny of past results, reflecting a broader national conversation about voter fraud and electoral trust.
