Hey 48205to24..take a look at my rather long diatribe in the Benny won? thread to get a gist of whom the election inspectors are. It is unfortunate for the Department of Elections that it does not have a lot of cognizant Detroit residents to work as pollworkers. This was an issue that I had addressed when I was Chairperson back in 2008. There are training classes and they are mandatory but just because someone show up does not mean they have digested all there was to know about the Election process. Think of school: every student will not "get it."
I suggested that during each election cycle that ALL election workers re-take the exam that I had to take back in 2007 when I applied to become a pollworker. As of this date, I am not sure anyone in Administration has taken my letters [[including one addressed to Mr. Baxter) to heart. So now you are witnessing the ineptness of the pollworkers.
