Wayne Co. Board of Canvassers asking SOS to investigate miscounted absentee ballots in Aug. primary

The Wayne County Board of Canvassers has asked the Secretary of State to investigate miscounted absentee ballots in the August primary - and to make sure it doesn't happen again in November.

In a majority of Detroit absentee-voting precincts, recorded ballot counts did not match the number of ballots actually cast, indicating something clearly went wrong with how the ballots are tracked.

"We've got to get to the bottom of it because we have to make sure when votes are cast, they're counted accurately and be verified. That's the very essence of a fair election," said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters.

Detroit's clerk Janice Winfrey has yet to respond to FOX 2 about the Board of Canvassers' request, or about what went wrong with absentee ballot tracking.

The Secretary of State's office explained that what they're doing is not an investigation yet, but that's not ruled out.

This is not to be confused with earlier past election stories such as this one I’ve mentioned before....

Southfield city clerk charged with 6 felonies tied to November ...www.detroitnews.com › oakland-county › 2019/09/23
Allegations that Hawkins altered 193 absentee voter records came to light during the 14-day canvass following the election. ....

////////////
All the news stories on TV and radio apologized for having to report that this (black) woman was indicted for felonies “and we have had her as a guest here about many stories about elections before and we like her so much and are sad to hear of this....but remember this was ruled to not change the outcome of the election.” and variations.

What happened to Al Gore’s plea “Let every vote count. Count every vote.”?

2016: Records: Too many votes in 37% of Detroit’s precincts

Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.

Detailed reports from the office of Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett show optical scanners at 248 of the city’s 662 precincts, or 37 percent, tabulated more ballots than the number of voters tallied by workers in the poll books.

They probably never have matched. When they realized their scams would be exposed they abruptly shut down the 2016 Michigan Recount.
