Michigan reportedly has 85000 ballots with the presidential election left unmarked. That makes me nervous.
Traditionally speaking, all unmarked ballots are to be counted for algore.
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.
I know several people who voted to leave the presidential spot blank. That's why Trump did not do as well in some affluent socially conservative areas. I was a very last minute Trump voter myself originally planning on leaving the position blank, which is why I took a long break from FR.
