"It's not good", but their confident it will work out

One-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified from an unprecedented statewide recount of presidential election results because of problems with ballots.

Michigan’s largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month.

Most of those are in heavily Democratic 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.

According to state law, precincts whose poll books don’t match with ballots can’t be recounted. If that happens, original election results stand.

“It’s not good,” conceded Daniel Baxter, elections director for the city of Detroit.

He blamed the discrepancies on the city’s decade-old voting machines, saying 87 optical scanners broke on Election Day. Many jammed when voters fed ballots into scanners, which can result in erroneous vote counts if ballots are inserted multiple times. Poll workers are supposed to adjust counters to reflect a single vote but in many cases failed to do so, causing the discrepancies, Baxter said.

Even so, Baxter said it’s unlikely all 392 of the city’s precincts with mismatched numbers will be disqualified from a recount. The city is in contact with elections officials at the state of Michigan and Baxter predicted the numbers will match when the ballot boxes are re-opened for the recount, which starts Tuesday in Wayne County at Cobo Center.

“It’s a challenge, but we’re confident the ballots will match,” Baxter said. “I don’t think it’s going to be 100 percent, but it never is with a recount.”

Just how confident are they and what will they be willing to do to get those Democrat votes to match. :?

Only in democrat world does this make sense.

Looks like a bit of ballot box stuffing pays off doesn't it. The extra ballots should be tossed but nope just let them stay. :roll:
What should happen but won't, is if Hillary is getting 70% of the votes in that precinct then she should lose 70% of the extra votes in that precinct if Trumps getting 25% he loses 25% if the rest on the ballot are getting the remaining 5% then they lose 5%. But you don't just leave the extra votes in the mix.

Chances are they are all going to Hillary but you can't guarantee that so percentage of vote should be taken from each person on ballot to be fair.

Hint if you never want a recount in Michigan just make sure your Poll book never matches your Ballot numbers so they can't be recounted and your original election results stand. Make Sense to anyone :?
