next we have
uh this name that i'm doing very poorly
with
uh hima hema welcome
to the senate oversight committee after
her will be melissa carone
and james danley
welcome to the senate oversight
committee can you tell me how to say
your last name correctly
ready so now so now everybody else can
the moment i saw you holding onto that
card i'm like that's me that's gotta be
me
well you have three minutes so thank you
thank you thank you for giving me this
opportunity to speak
um this is my first time doing this as a
poll challenger at
tcf as an immigrant to this country as
you can tell
um we had great respect for america the
elections here
we always thought it's it has a lot of
integrity whereas the countries we come
from
a lot of things happen but all of that
changed the day
i went there like i was on i was a tcf
on both the days third and the fourth
third was pretty much um the same
monotonous stuff going on
nothing much to note other than
occasional ballad challenging but
the next day next day is where um
i noticed a lot of issues um there was
a group of people uh who were like
agitators who were trying to get uh
gop people in trouble and from my skin
color everybody assumes that i'm a
democrat
and uh so they just kind of come to me
and uh one of the ladies was thinking
that let get let's get these mf's out
and i'm like mf's who like because
she thought i was a democrat then when i
pulled out my tag she looked at me and
she's like
you're on the wrong side i'm like how
can you say i'm on the wrong side i pick
whoever i want right because this is a
free country
but then i noticed that they were going
and getting all the white
male republicans out by you know just
kind of
sheer intimidation you know just saying
oh your mask slipped you're going to get
people killed
like you heard from so many other people
and then what i
did was i got trained by two both the mi
gop and election integrity fund so i
went to tim griffin of election
integrity fund and i said
can i have my non-partisan um
credentials and then when i got that
badge on
everything changed like people just
looked at me differently i was looked at
with a lot of hostility when i had the
gop tag and now that i have a
non-partisan tag
i was respected at the accounting boards
i was respected by the democrats and the
aclu
and in fact i was able to even help some
of the gop people from being escorted
out by putting myself there and
asking why they were even being escorted
out and arguing with these people
but the whole environment was so hostile
and condescending
and a lot of people have talked about
the
you know the ballots that were not in
the poll book or the system and i was at
a table which had a
full stack of uh this file which said
not in epb
s which is poll book r system they were
scanning and manually entering them
and the signatures on those sleeves were
exactly alike like a
bar graph and then they were sequential
ballot numbers
they started from 2 2 3 2 and
sequence was something that threw me off
i'm like how does that happen
and most of those people were from the
guarded street
and they were being entered manually so
those were the observations that i had i
had all the details the last names and
everything i gave the affidavit to the
election integrity fund
and the the thing that bothered me was
that when every time a
gop challenger was being escorted out
all the poll workers
democrats and everybody else were
cheering and that was very disappointing
because these people were
just doing their job they were not
attacking they were not there with guns
they were just volunteering their time
and they were treated with utmost
disrespect
thank you for your time your testimony
um could you
briefly go back to just a few seconds
ago you mentioned how you saw some
ballots that were sequential
and then you described them somehow and
i i missed the
phrase that you used um where they came
from i think you mentioned
yeah it was from guarded street in wayne
county
like garden street yeah and they all had
sequential ballot numbers
and they were being manually fed into
the system okay thank you
any other members have a question okay
thank you so much for your time
