How to steal an election by hiding votes in plain sight

[philosslayer]

Voting machines in 37 percent of Detroit's precincts registered too many votes in the presidential election last month, the Detroit News reported Tuesday.

Records from Wayne County show optical scanners in 248 of the city's 662 precincts registered more ballots than the number of votes tallied in the poll books.

The city's voting irregularities prompted a call for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's office, according to the publication.

President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes, but Hillary Clinton received more votes in Detroit and Wayne County.
The state's recount effort ended Friday after a decision by the Michigan Supreme Court.

You have to give it to the Trump campaign.... this is genius. How do you stuff a ballot box with no one noticing? You do it in an overwhelmingly Democratic county. I'd love to see an audit of Milwaukee and Philadelphia also.

1. Something else at work here.

Can of snakes waiting to be kicked over?

2. Um, no.

The explanation I read is that when the optical scanners jammed and the ballots had to be put through again, the poll workers weren't resetting the machines, as they were supposed to.

Considering that this was in heavily-Democratic Detroit, there is a pretty good chance that those duplicate votes (or at least the vast majority of them) were for Clinton.

Besides, good chance the poll workers there were Democrats. Do you think they would be stuffing the ballot boxes for Trump? Do you think those poll workers would let in people in carrying stacks of ballots to put through the machine.

This is nonsense.

4. How do you know a "poll worker is a Democrat"?

Because they say so?

[MichMary]

5. Because it's Detroit?

Most poll workers are local.

6. You have got to be kidding me

Really? Wow. Yes, everyone who lives in Detroit is a Democrat. Thanks for clearing that up.

[MichMary]

9. I didn't say "everyone"

but Detroit is a Democratic stronghold, and has been for a very long time.

11. 93.96% Detroit voters cast votes for liberal candidates in 2004

15. detroit was a sea of foreclosed homes, city abandoned to RW 'management', empty homes rotting away

while thousands of families were homeless, doubled up with friends & family. Worse in Flint, the water was poisoned, kids can't even take a bath in their homes. bottled water for all!, no water tanker semis on every corner & hooked up to buildings. kids poisoned is a national disaster?. Instead the people in poverty, people who had to take kids out of the area for a bath-received huge water bills.

I can understand why a hundred, thousand Ds left GE ballots blank. voted "none of the above" To late now, hey?

8. K&R

Obama should have stepped in immediately and declared the election null & void because of evidence of voting machine tampering, which constitutes election fraud.

If he wanted to, he probably could use the "bully pulpit" to order a national recount, since, besides GOP vote flipping, there also was a cyber-attack on our country by Russia, which is unprecedented in the history of this country.

But he won't do anything, because he doesn't WANT to do anything.

All he wants is a "smooth transition"

12. So much wrong with this post

No POTUS has the power to declare an election "null and void"
There has been no evidence of voting machine tampering
No POTUS can order a nation recount, since states, per the Constitution, run their own elections
There is no evidence of vote flipping, GOP or otherwise
The Russian cyber attack is not unprecedented (remember China hacking OPM in 2015?)

16. No voting machine tampering? No election tampering?

I respectfully disagree:

When the recount efforts started getting too close to the truth, Republican election official successful sued to stop the recounts. Wonder why?

13. because 90,000 left ballots blank? "registered more ballots than the number of votes tallied"

"registered more ballots than the number of votes tallied" I

f ballots really were blank and not miss-scanned by the machine.
