Who do I report Polling Place Violation to? (illegal, Michigan, elections)

In the state of Michigan it is illegal to have a campaign yard sign 100 feet from the polling place entrance.

There are campaign yard signs on the property of the polling place within 100 feet of the polling place.


I told the people at the place, they said yes that they have had complaints, but that it is legal for the polling place to have signs on the property and further claimed that it is 100 feet away from the primary entrance -- which it is clearly not. It is at most 50 feet (16 paces of a good stride).

Who do I contact? Since the people at the polling place are fine with it?

For Michigan, I googled and found this...

SOS - How can I contact the Bureau of Elections?

You could choose to be the squeaky wheel too. Your SoS's facebook page.

Sooo call local law enforcement. Also for fun...right before you call them, call up your local tv or news station. Let the police know that as well.

Its nice to see you not saying who did it, because that doesn't matter, its wrong to do so no matter who does it.

That same thing happens at my local Texas polling place. Both sides are always within 100ft - camped between the parking lot and the front door.

Zoom in on Google Maps satellite view, then right click for the "measure distance' option.

Thats not ok, call the non-emergency number and report them both.

Seriously this stuffs nuts.

And the 2016 elections are going to be even worse

I also just contacted my local government offices to ask why there are political yard signs on government property (the government owns the polling building for my precinct).

We'll see if the cops think it is 100 feet.
