Detroit local Jessy Jacob was on the verge of tears on Wednes­day as she tes­ti­fied dur­ing a Lans­ing, Michi­gan, hear­ing about the intim­i­da­tion and harass­ment she expe­ri­enced while work­ing as a bal­lot proces­sor for Wayne Coun­ty in the Novem­ber election.

“They treat­ed me like a crim­i­nal, humil­i­at­ed me, harassed me,” Jacob said in her wit­ness state­ment as she appeared along­side Trump cam­paign lawyers Rudy Giu­liani and Jen­na Ellis. “It was so bad.”

The pub­lic hear­ing was con­vened by the state’s Sen­ate Over­sight Com­mit­tee after the state’s Board of Can­vassers, made up of two Democ­rats and two Repub­li­cans, “unan­i­mous­ly asked this leg­is­la­ture to look into issues that have arisen in this elec­tion and to hear pub­lic tes­ti­mo­ny,” com­mit­tee chair Sen. Ed McB­room (R‑Vulcan) told those gath­ered at the proceedings.
