AFFIDAVIT
The Affiant, Robert Cushman, being first duly sworn, hereby deposes and states as follows:
1. My name is Patrick J. Colbeck, I was a poll challenger for the November 3, 2020 election,
and I am a resident of Wayne County.

3. At approximately 5:45pm on November 3, 2020, I first asked Chris Thomas how the
tabulated results were to be transferred to the County and other parties. He said he didn't know,
but he would find out. I repeated this inquiry throughout the evening until Mr. Thomas
responded that he would not be able to release that information until the end of the next
day. Early during the morning, I was able to look at a copy of the Detroit Election manual which
specified that the tabulated votes would be copied from the adjudicator computers to a series of
flash drives.
4. At approximately 7:30pm on November 3, 2020, about 50% of Poll Workers left the AV
Counting Board before 8pm in violation ofMCL 168.792a(l l). An announcement was made by
Detroit Election Officials at 7:45pm calling them back but most had already left the AV
Counting Board area.

On this 8th day of November, 2020, before me personally appeared Patrick J. Colbeck, who
in my presence did execute the foregoing affidavit, and who, being duly sworn, deposes and states
that he has read the foregoing affidavit by him subscribed and knows the contents thereof, and that
the same is true of his own knowledgeand belief, except as to those matters he states to be on
information and belief, and as to those matters he believes them to be true.
