They bypassed TCF Center police and got into the building, but not where workers were counting votes.
Supporters of the re-election of President Donald Trump gathered outside the TCF Center in downtown Detroit Wednesday, where ballot counting for that county was taking place.
Members of the group bypassed police at the convention center and were able to gain entry to the building, but not into the hall where votes were being tabulated.
The Trump supporters chanted, “Stop the count.”
Vice is reporting that two hours before the melee, the Republican Committee in Calhoun County urged its followers to travel to the convention center and “ensure that the outstanding ballots are being counted properly.”
Calhoun County is one hour and 48 minutes away from Detroit.
A call for “trained poll challengers” also went out as an emergency call from Macomb County, which is closer to the city.
Detroit journalist Kat Stafford reposted a video of the mob attempting to gain entry into the center, saying, “Note the racial dynamics here: Happening in Detroit — a 78% Black majority city.”
