on december 14, 2005, in lansing, michigan, while attempting to comply with that court order to certify the petitions, the board's four members were scheduled to make the final vote to certify the petitions for the november ballot. however, the meeting attended by hundreds of detroit high school students. the crowd began to shout "no voter fraud," until they became so loud that the members left the room adjourning until 2pm. chanting, "they say jim crow! we say hell no!," the emotion-surged crowd of students continued until a table was overturned in the commotion and the lansing police came in to control the situation. opponents of mcri labeled their own conduct "civil disobedience" while proponents argued it crossed the line into outright violence and intentional intimidation. video of the situation can be seen here.
