Detroit Elections Official Claims Workers Coached Voters To Support Biden And Change Dates On Ballots

Jesse Jacob, who has worked as an election worker for decades, said that she “directly observed” other workers coach voters to cast their votes for former Vice President Joe Biden. Jacob’s affidavit, which was posted on Twitter by GOP spokesperson Elizabeth Harrington, details the conduct that she witnessed while working for the city. His allegations were also read (in part) by Ronna McDaniel in a Monday press conference, as my colleague Jennifer Van Laar reported.

“I directly observed, on a daily basis, City of Detroit election workers and employees coaching and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party,” Jacob alleges. “I witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot.”

Jacob also claims that her supervisor instructed her “to adjust the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than they were actually sent. The supervisor was making announcements for all workers to engage in this practice.”
