Appalling: Canvassers demand answers after 72% of Detroit’s absentee ballot counts were off

24

The Democrats mean to blow up the November election, in a direct assault on our Constitutional Republic. They hate freedom and they mean to destroy it.

They whine about “voter suppression,” when in fact, they define voter suppression.

Canvassers demand answers after 72% of Detroit’s absentee ballot counts were off

By: Craig Mauger, The Detroit News, Aug. 20, 2020 |

Recorded ballot counts in 72% of Detroit’s absentee voting precincts didn’t match the number of ballots cast, spurring officials in Michigan’s largest county to ask the state to investigate ahead of a pivotal presidential election.

Without an explanation from Detroit election workers for the mismatches, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers requested this week for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office to examine the “training and processes” used in Detroit’s Aug. 4 primary, which one official described as a “perfect storm” of challenges. The board is charged with certifying election results.

In 46% of all Detroit’s precincts — absentee and Election Day — vote counts were out of balance, according to information presented Tuesday to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. Specifically, the number of ballots tracked in precinct poll books did not match the number of ballots counted.

The situation could amplify the spotlight on absentee ballots in Michigan ahead of an election for which record levels of mail-in voting are expected and President Donald Trump is already raising concerns about how votes will be handled.

The election results for the primary weren’t incorrect, said Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat and one of the canvassing board’s four members. But, he said, something had gone wrong in the process of tracking ballots precinct by precinct.

Having balanced precincts is particularly important in Michigan because precincts whose poll books don’t match with ballots can’t be recounted, according to state law. Instead, the original election results would stand.

“It was a perfect storm,” Kinloch said.

The “storm” involved a record number of absentee ballots being cast in Michigan’s primary and seasoned election workers not feeling it was safe to help with administering the election because of COVID-19, he added.

The Wayne County board is asking Benson, a Detroit resident, to investigate “the training and processes used by the City of Detroit” in the primary election. The board also requested that the first-term Democrat appoint a state monitor to oversee the counting of absentee ballots in the general election.

Sure, mail in balloting is safe and accurate. No worries, the Dems running the elections are trustworthy and would never fudge the vote.

Come to a polling station and get asked for ID is voter suppression. Minorities see to be incapable of providing an ID. Having an ID is white privilege.

No nerd to verify a signature. We trust you, and our friends who harvest your ballots and return them for you, They are also so helpful that you ballot gets collected in advance of you receiving it and they will fill it in for you,

Not a citizen? We feel sorry for you so we let you illegally vote, even if it is multiple times.

Numbers don’t add up? Well, Dems da breaks.

If the ballots are so badly lost, or confused, or double counted, then the fraud will be impossible to correct. And that is what the Dems want. It’s like a huge Cloward-Piven Strategy, just to create chaos. If the vote is so wrecked that it is uninterpretable, then the Dems may just try to ignore it.

BTW, sent email to Pamela Geller with regards to DISQUS censorship of felix1999, and several of my post placed in ‘Pending’ review,… which is NEVER removed and thusly, comments are NEVER seen, a.k.a. Censorship.
Pamela did reply and stated she is reviewing Other possible comment software options. She too is not happy with Patriots being censored.

Hi AR, thanks for your efforts. “Pending” usually means they don’t like a specific comment. But if comments get too rough for them, they might block you completely on Geller Report. They blocked my posting of pictures, so now I access Geller Report from the Opera browser, and that works for now. Opera provides a free VPN option, that hides the IP address.
To avoid the ‘pending’ problem, I use euphemisms wherever possible for any muscular words. Examples include mortality, morbidity, dislike, liquidate, neutralize, reproductive activity, etc., instead of the more explicit equivalent words.
And if I really want to use explicit wording, I type the comment offline , and snip the comment image of the text as a picture, and then post the picture. Disqus scans text, and images much less so. I got partially banned by Disqus when I wrote fairly explicit comments about the wrongdoings of Jeffrey Epstein.

They whine about “voter suppression”
Absolutely, the Democrats suppressed the black vote for 150 years, until Republican President Eisenhower began the process of voter emancipation. No wonder blacks voted Republican when they could, until Johnson promised to ‘liberate them’ in the 1960’s. Of course, he didn’t.

Voter suppression is the only reason Stacy Abrams isn’t Governor of Georgia. At least that’s what she says.

You expect an accurate count done by people that were educated in government run schools? They are allowed to graduate if they can spell their name with less than three errors.

This is like asking the fox to tend to the henhouse. Benson is corrupt. Everything done in her career has circled around voter fraud.

Why would they have a law where ballots can’t be recounted if they know there is a problem, thusly allowing the problem to stand, knowing the results were fraudulent, unless they wanted a fraud to transpire in the first place?

It worked in Minnesota and Washington state elections. Just keep on counting until the “correct” number is found. The other trick is to throw an attractive third party candidate into the fray which worked for Billy Jeff in 92 and 96 (Perot) and other places like the CA-3 district where Libertarian candidates kept Vic Fazio in office for several extra terms. It is being tried now here in U

This is why Nancy is SO vocal about being FOR mail-in voting. And now she is calling on Dementia Joe to cancel the debates against Trump. When are the federal marshals going to march right into the Capitol and take her out in cuffs ????

One thing I didn’t get from the story is the numbers. Did the votes exceed the number of registrations or were there missing votes. Could “harvesting” be involved?
