**Wayne County Board Questions Election Results in Dearborn and Hamtramck**
*WAYNE COUNTY, MI* — The Wayne County Board of Canvassers convened on Thursday, Nov. 13, to address pressing concerns regarding the integrity of recent election results from two key cities: Dearborn and Hamtramck.
During the meeting held at the Wayne County building, officials scrutinized a series of discrepancies related to the counting process in the Hamtramck mayoral race. Allegations have emerged suggesting that errors in vote tabulation could potentially alter the outcomes and raise doubts over the election’s transparency.
“I believe it’s our duty to ensure that every vote is counted accurately,” said Board Chair, Tony D. Marino, emphasizing the necessity of addressing these issues promptly. The mayoral election in Hamtramck, a city with a diverse electorate, has been particularly controversial, leading to a demand for a thorough review.
Simultaneously, new complications arose in Dearborn, where reports have surfaced regarding irregularities in the voting process. Candidates and local residents have raised concerns about potential mishandling of ballots, casting a shadow over an election that many hoped would be seamless. Accusations have prompted calls for accountability and transparency from the election officials.
In response, the Board of Canvassers has committed to a full review of both cities’ election processes, with discussions expected to extend into next week. “We owe it to the citizens of Wayne County to ensure their voices are heard and their votes are counted,” added Board member, Sheila Razavi.
As canvassing procedures continue, both Hamtramck and Dearborn residents await clarity on the electoral integrity of their recent elections. The board’s investigations may hold significant implications for future electoral processes within Wayne County, emphasizing the need for vigilance in democratic practices.
