Calls for Janice Winfrey to resign as city clerk grow - 60% of Detroit precints wrong

Again, I sometimes don't have a good idea why Detroiters don't demand better.

You might also ask yourself why Detroit has 491 [[!?!?) precincts, with an average number of voters that is 1/2 to 1/3 of the average of other municipalities. It's not lack of voter density--even in rural towns, they don't have that.

It is, in my mind, another area where Detroit's government thinks its role is to create and provide jobs. If election day has about 4 workers per precinct, that's probably 1,000 people that are being paid when that money could be used elsewhere.

Detroiters need to step up and correct these things.

Are you from Detroit? Because it sure it sure doesn't sound like something written by someone who actually votes in Detroit. Election day was chaos, long lines, confused seemingly understaffed poll workers. If Detroit was just making up jobs for people to do it sure as hell didn't seem like it.
