The Michigan recount finished its first day, and there were already reports that half of Detroit’s votes might not be recounted, as well as other problems with ballots.
The reason so many Detroit ballots could get left out of the recount: The number of ballots listed in poll books is not the same as the totals given on machine printouts.
Clinton rang up huge margins in Wayne County, home to populous Detroit, and she would likely need her margin there to grow in order to shrink Trump’s 10,704 vote margin in Michigan. Clinton received 66 percent of the Wayne County vote on November 8.
The news of the Detroit problems broke in the Detroit News on December 5 as two Michigan counties started recounting ballots from the 2016 presidential election. The newspaper reported that “one-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified” from the recount because of ballot problems. According to the newspaper, officials “couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts” during last month’s countywide canvass of Election Day returns, adding that most are in Clinton stronghold Detroit, “where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.”
The Detroit Free Press quoted an expert who questioned the Michigan recount law, which varies from other states in that, if there is a discrepancy between the number of ballots and those listed in poll books, a recount can not be done in that precinct, and original results stand if the “difference is not explained to the satisfaction of the board of canvassers.” This happened on day 1 of the Michigan recount, when a Rochester Hills precinct could not be recounted because of a missing ballot, said the newspaper.

You mean canvassing. That's not the same as a recount.
We’ve always known the republican MUST get enough votes to cover the fraud. Apparently Trump got so many that they knew it would take too many “found” votes for Hillary to win.
This also shows why Hillary was so pissed. She couldn’t understand how she lost when she cheated.
I would think she’d get less votes, if the ballot stuffing was done in a district she had won.
Not gonna happen.
Both candidates will gain and lose roughly the same amount of votes as we’re seeing in WI.
What’s the point of this stupid recount?
Didn’t the judge say if the votes are recounted in time they won’t count?
OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballot box stuffing, or ballots that were COUNTED but not entered into a ballot log. Last minute backroom old-fashioned ballot box stuffing. This happened in heavy ‘DemonRat’ precincts thereby creating a Hillary lead where there probably really wasn’t one.
DID HE REPORT IT?
MANDATORY JAIL TIME FOR VOTER FRAUD (who could object to that law? After all they don’t commit any fraud, do they?)
It's not someone walking in off the streets who has all of these ballots to feed in. It doesn't happen without the election officials knowledge.
Please clarify what you said:
Stuffed votes for her are not counted=more votes for her.
I missed something.
Media coverage/ad revenue, same as all the delegate BS
The judge can’t prevent MI from appointing its electors under safe harbor.
Doesn’t matter if they’re still counting by December 19.
Have him AT LEAST write an ‘anonymous’ report
Jill might not want to look too carefully at how the votes got counted in Detroit... Back in 2012 there were precincts in big cities, not necessarily Detroit, where Obama won 100% of the vote and or voter turnout was 105% of registered voters and everyone just said “sure that sounds legit”
Detroit went for illary.
Detroit’s voter sign-in logbooks’ number of people don’t match the number of people using the machine; machine tally is larger.
So those get dumped, and illary loses those votes.
I wonder if Stein is working for Trump? She said she would rather vote for Trump than Hillary if it only came down to those 2 choices.
With the early results coming out the way they are AND Obama/Hillary so silent on the recount effort, I’m getting a feeling there is more at play than what it appears.
Trump is is brilliant manager of people and perceptions.
And those won’t count, so illary loses those votes.
On the old voting machines where you pulled a lever and closed the curtain behind you.... they had to close the curtain, flip the switch, open the curtain to register the vote, and repeat as many times as necessary.....
Absolutely!!! I have a feeling some of these “blue strongholds” are going have audits after Jan 20, 2017.
