Correct me if I’m wrong, but Michigan law states that on a re-count....if the local precinct book and number of ballots cast at that precinct do not exactly match...then all ballots are rounded to zero at that precinct for anyone for the purpose of the re-count.

I think yesterday's thread indicated that the initial winner of the precinct would be certified, in the event of this kind of discrepancy. However the ballots in the precincts in question could not be subject to a recount.

But I could be wrong.

I think y’all are right, if they find a discrepancy like this, the original count stands, and those boxes don’t get recounted.

"However the ballots in the precincts in question could not be subject to a recount." Because timing (and 'rats want to at least keep their initial gains from fraud).

But the Precinct should be investigated for fraud, from the voter rolls on down ASAP.

That is true.

I do not contest your description of the mechanics of the recount, but I would suggest the process puts the issue of fraud out of reach.
