From the Stein camp:
Outraged by Wednesday night’s decision to shut down the recount, Jill Stein will hold a rally and protest in front of Cobo Hall in Detroit at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 10 to speak out against the unfair decision and call on the Michigan Supreme Court to immediately allow the recount to continue.
Jill Stein and Michigan citizens will gather to push for reform to Michigan’s broken voting system, arguing that the numerous irregularities already uncovered during the recount provide significant evidence that voters in Michigan – particularly in communities of color – may have been massively disenfranchised during the election.
"This is an attack on our democracy by Trump and Michigan Republicans," said Lou Novak, a Detroit resident, Green Party member, and recount volunteer who will be speaking at the rally. "The discrepancies we’ve discovered while counting votes so far are precisely the reason we need a recount in the first place. We will not back down from this fight now. The Michigan Supreme Court must do its job."
WHAT: Rally for Democracy with Jill Stein
WHEN: 2 p.m. ET, Saturday December 10, 2016
WHERE: Joe Louis statue in front of Cobo Hall, 1 Washington Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226
WHO: Jill Stein, 2016 Green Party candidate for president; Lou Novak, Member of the Green Party of Michigan; Anita Bell, Delegate to the Green Party nominating convention and leader in reparation movement; Recount Supporters/Michigan Citizens
