#1 They are going to blame this on Putin as well?

#2 99% of those extra ballots voted D and for the D's pet projects... but Republicans and Russians will be blamed.

#3 "There’s always going to be small problems to some degree, but we didn’t expect the degree of problem we saw in Detroit. This isn’t normal"

It's Detroit, Jake.

#4 Anyone out there still believe that the publicly employed/welfare class will do ANYTHING to keep their magic paychecks?

#6 This should be on proposed Attorney General Session's "clean-up" list. All Detroit polls should have federal supervisors for 2018 election.

#7 Of course, this will largely go unreported by the MSM.

#8 I had never heard of Jill Stein before this election. Does she step on rakes for a living?

#10 To be fair, she could not have had these results if she tried.

#11 Hillary just could not imagine that with all that fraud she still lost.

#12 Detroit is not "Michigan".

#14 Don't you know - that was because of the 75,000 votes that never got counted there, and kept Hillary from winning. I read that someplace on the web so I know it's true.

#15 #1 They are going to blame this on Putin as well?

National People's Radio is shopping the story that this is simply the result of tired poll workers making mistakes after working long hours or improperly stacking boxes and damaging the seals. While once may be an accident, 60% of the time is a tad suspicious. Feel free to choose between corruption and incompetence as an explanation.

Michigan uses paper ballots that are marked with a felt-tip pen and run by hand thru an optical scanning machine. At the end of the day, ballots are counted and sealed in boxes. If the seal is broken or the tally doesn't match the actual number of ballots, that box cannot be recounted.

Like the man said, what matters is who gets to count the votes.

#16 Sometimes incompetence is just another form of corruption.

#17 If the seal is broken or the tally doesn't match the actual number of ballots, that box cannot be recounted. Ballots handed out to voters are not necessarily ballots cast by voters, but that is the way the rules are in Michigan. OTOH, when more votes are counted than registered voters exist in a precinct, that is definitely fishy.
