Voters turned away due to missing voting machines at precinct in Detroit

DETROIT (WXYZ) - At Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Detroit, voters arrived shortly after polls opened ready to vote.

However, they were shocked to find out that the precinct wasn't prepared – they had no voting machines.

After speaking with election workers, we learned there was some sort of miscommunication about where those voting machines were left. It turned out they were locked in a closet on the other side of the school, a closet that election workers did not have access to.

In the meantime, voters were turned away. The precinct now has the machines and is working to get them set up and hopefully running soon.

Maybe not good news for Democrats this time.

No machines in a Stab-me-now precinct might be a good thing

It took a bit of extra time to feed in all the fraudulent ballots from dead voters. Best laid plans of mice and men, you know!

You know...when you arrive at the right polling place, with your name on the listing, and they gave you an excuse like this...there ought to be a $500 check issued to you from the county.

It’s Detroit, maybe somebody stole the machines.

Isn’t it funny that most poll workers have been there for 30 years or more and they still cannot figure it out?

Turnout may drop from 110% down to 101% in that precinct.

Ridiculous.

Poll workers get to the location at least 2 hours before polling begins to set up. This should never have happened.

Here we go!

POLLS TO BE OPEN FOR EXTRA HOURS (or perhaps even days) Once again in a strongly democrat precinct.

How many times does this happen?

Idiocracy, or intent?

Which is worse?

I guess this voting location would be a waste of time for the New Black Panthers.

Those machines will turn up at some strategic time after the polls close. A good for nothing ‘Rat judge will be found to order their contents to be counted. Same old, same old.

I’m sorry but who was the election official assigned to receive and sequester the machines?

So, on delivery the serial numbers and MAC addresses were no recorded?

Oh they have it figured out all right. Before the day is over some grieved person in that precinct will file an injunction demanding the polls stay open there for 3-4 hours past closing time and the rats will get busy busing in voters from the Chicago hoods. Afterwards boxes of uncounted ballots will appear.

The rats will win by less than 1/2 of one percent.

It’s the rat way.

Setting up later on to ask a federal judge to keep voting precincts open past the time polls are scheduled to close. You’ll be hearing the Dems screaming “vote suppression” all day and all night long. Gotta give the vote fixers time to work!

Don’t worry folks!

It’s not as if these missing machines are lost. I’m sure they will turn up somewhere by later today, full to the brim with votes.

These are voters an inner city precinct who would have supported the African-American candidate for Senate.

Sure. More likely modifying the machines took longer than expected.
