BREAKING: Michigan Poll Worker Tells Undercover Journalist in Arabic, “You Know There Is Someone [El-Sayed] You Must Vote For,” Directing Our Undercover Reporter Toward U.S. Senator-elect @AbdulElSayed When our undercover reporter asked, “That Egyptian guy?” the poll worker confirmed “that’s the one you want,” and proceeded to explain to the voter there will be an Arabic-language ballot. Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 168.744, electioneering is prohibited, making it illegal for anyone, including poll workers and poll watchers, to attempt to persuade voters to support or oppose a particular candidate, party ticket, or ballot question. This restriction applies inside polling rooms, connected voting areas, and within 100 feet of any entrance to a building housing a polling place. Violations of this law constitute a misdemeanor.
