Michigan Recount 2016: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Heavy ^ | November 26, 2016 | Jessica McBride

Posted on 11/26/2016 8:43:03 PM PST by bobsunshine

Michigan – the battleground state with one of the closest margins in the country – appears headed toward a 2016 presidential election recount, although the deadline for requesting one is not until November 30. ...snip...

The Detroit Free Press said the recount “will be a monumental task for the Secretary of State and 83 county clerks around Michigan” and that the state will hand count each ballot if a recount is requested.

Michigan’s recount rules say that a candidate “who believes that the canvass of the votes cast on the office may be incorrect because of possible ‘fraud or mistake’ in the precinct returns may petition for a recount of the votes cast in the precincts involved.”

Michigan charges $125 per precinct for a recount. Opposing candidates can “submit objections to the recount request to the Board of County Canvassers,” Michigan’s recount rules say.

In contrast, Wisconsin does not mandate hand counting of ballots and uses a mixture of electronic machines and paper ballots. Pennsylvania is one of a few states to rely almost exclusively on electronic machines without any paper records.

Soros has a warrant in Russia. Vlad invited the next President to serve the warrant and extradite Soros.

Trump might add up the Soros sins and conclude from the sum the best course is to just rid America of him. Better a trial in Moscow than New York

Michigan reportedly has 85000 ballots with the presidential election left unmarked. That makes me nervous.

Trump has called it a scam on Twitter.

Kellyanne has laughed at Stein and Hillary on TV for demanding a recount.

Not much gets ignored by his team. I actually believe more is going on behind the scenes. Even zer0 has denied fraud.

Totals may change within the margins, but no one expects an overturn of the election.

Traditionally speaking, all unmarked ballots are to be counted for algore.

No.

They only found 505 more votes in Wayne.

Why do you think Hillary hasn’t filed a recount request in MI?

If the vote was really there, she would have been all over it.

Who was guarding the ballots? Soro is the owner of the machine.
What is it for Jill?

“Stein has no legal standing in Pennsylvania”, Here is the problem: if they flip WI & Mi (or if it begins to look like there is a chance either will) there is a 0% chance PA won’t be get a recount by court order if necessary. Hillary will have standing.I hate to say it but Trump seems clueless, this is not a “scam”. I wish I shared all the optimism and bravado but I think we are in a real war here and I don’t know if we can win it if Trump thinks this is some money scam he saw in the business world. They have been working this awhile that is why they waited until the last minute to file to keep Trump from countering in NV,NM and MN.

She won’t choose any counties where they haven’t manufactured thousands of votes. It’s Florida all over again times five and no Supreme Court to end the BS this time. :-(

“Why would hillary even want this kind of win?”

Because she doesn’t care whom she hurts and never has. This is about her greed and lust for power. And...about keeping her head over the vile things she’s promised to do to get all that foreign $$$ into the Foundation.

As I said before Hillary will not be able to “discover” enough votes to overcome Trump’s 68,000 margin. They can’t disqualify an entire state, PA, by betting on getting a superior court judge to agree to violate the law by accepting the request without the legal mandate of having proof of fraud or error.

When Trump took PA by such a large margin, Clinton was dead.

“This is all in Broward, Florida. They tried and they got caught, redhanded. Had these events continued, unabated, surely Donald Trump would have lost Florida.”

If they aren’t prosecuted and convicted for this crime the Democrats and the media will continue to argue voter fraud is not an issue. Certainly a Republican Governor can initiate a real investigation.

Hillary has no honor or pride — she wants to win at ANY cost.

Hillary's pay for play schemes are what's driving this. She made a lot of promises to donors, who I'm sure are very unhappy with her now!

There is no voter ID required to send in an absentee ballot. Process a bogus registration and they’re good to go.

Absentee ballots cannot be fabricated at this point. The deadline for absentee ballots to be received is usually election day.

As we asserted, the best opportunity for shenanigans is before the election.

Read this post below. They already have stacks of blank absentee ballots ready to go. They just don’t use them unless they get a call.

Once the ballot is separated from the envelope, who would ever know when or if it were stamped?

They are never prosecuted. We got lucky, they were caught. We need 24-7 cameras in their offices. We need the voter rolls purged of aliens and fictitious people.

Wonder how many of those Presidential undervotes are NEVERTRUMPER ballots who voted straight R on all down ballot races and didn’t vote for President?

Even if they are not NeverTrump they can legally be objected to and by court order if it comes to that not counted.

Also in MI unlike WI, the SOS has authority to reject a recount request for various reasons and also the petitioner must prove some kind of harm was done to them. Also in MI Team Trump or MI GOP acting on behalf of Trump can file an objection to the recount and the MI SOS must take the objection under advisement!

Also, the Michigan SOS who oversees elections is GOP, so the Rats will not get any special favors unlike WI.

Why isn’t the media hounding her for suggesting the election was rigged and not accepting the results?

Only Trump was supposed to take an oath to blindly accept the results, none of the other candidates were pushed to say that they would.

Let’s pray you’re correct. As I said in an earlier post, I think flipping 3 states seems like a bridge too far. And that is what I’m counting on. Again, Trump dismissing this as a “Scam” and hypocrisy on Hillary’s part tells me he doesn’t see this for what it is.
Dangerous very Dangerous.
