Evidence of a massive plot to rig the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election in Michigan was finally uncovered but it doesn’t look like it was Russians or in any way pro-Trump.

Over a third of precincts in massively pro-Hillary Wayne County, Michigan were found to have tabulated more ballots than the number of voters.
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. Voting irregularities in Detroit have spurred plans for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson’s office, Elections Director Chris Thomas said Monday.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein, with the tacit endorsement of the Clinton gang, demanded a recount in Michigan where Trump’s margin of victory was razor-thin.
When Michigan electoral officials began the process of recounting, they discovered huge irregularities in the ballot tallies for many precincts thus making them ineligible to be recounted according to state law.
Overall, state records show 10.6 percent of the precincts in the 22 counties that began the retabulation process couldn’t be recounted because of state law that bars recounts for unbalanced precincts or ones with broken seals.
Unsurprisingly, the precincts with the greatest amount of potential electoral subterfuge were in Detroit where a Democratic machine control virtually the entire political process.
The problems were the worst in Detroit, where discrepancies meant officials couldn’t recount votes in 392 precincts, or nearly 60 percent. And two-thirds of those precincts had too many votes.
“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,” said Krista Haroutunian, chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers.
Since this is the only instance of actual voter fraud uncovered by her recount circus, perhaps Jill Stein can give some of the millions she raised for the recount to assist Detroit poll workers in identifying how they made so many egregious errors in the tabulation.
It’s unclear how many votes were added in Detroit. That’s because county officials have not tabulated how much the ballots were off in precincts with discrepancies of at least five votes.
Of the data available, though, machines tallied at least 388 more ballots, according to a Detroit News analysis of the records. That’s 0.16 percent of the 248,000 ballots cast in the city that voted for Clinton 95 percent to 3 percent over Trump.
Haroutunian said she didn’t know what to make of the trend toward over-counting because there was no explanation from Detroit poll workers. The city had another 34 precincts that were out of balance, but they included explanations for the discrepancies.
GOP officials are calling for an audit of Wayne County election procedures.
Republican state senators last week called for an investigation in Wayne County, including one precinct where a Detroit ballot box contained only 50 of the 306 ballots listed in a poll book, according to an observer for Trump.
However, the most likely result of the irregularities is they continue on into the next election cycle. Leftists learned from their heroes about full fledged election fraud:
“You know, comrades,” says Stalin, “that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
