This needs to be fact checked. I see Trump supporters tossing it around on Facebook and getting (rightfully) outraged over it. Is anyone able to verify anything with this?
As far as the barring, the article provides a really good account of that. Its stated that the counting floor at the TCF was packed with republican and democrat poll watchers at that time. Poll watchers were flooding the floor so people were getting thrown out. Tensions were getting high and people were harassing counters and getting thrown out.
If a batch came in 100% Biden and unchecked, I can't imagine people didn't start taking video and wouldn't have proof and that could then be investigated. They had phones. That seems really far fetched.
It really doesn't help that this Biden batch is something she heard from someone. It's completely anecdotal and one sided and so hard to verify. I am skeptical that something like that could pass muster without poll watchers freaking out and getting proof.
So, it should be investigated but there's so many ifs and 2nd hand reporting that take everything with a grain of salt.
It also sounds like the ACLU was watching. They should be a pretty independent and nonpartisan overseer of it all (being a lawyer union). I am also skeptical that fraudulent activity would slip past them.

I'm trying to fact check everything I can here.
So, this video was posted on Wed the 4th at 5pm, and she is talking about 4am on Wed morning.
There's a lot of good accounting here that lines up with her story and shows other sides:

Thank you for your efforts to look into it.
