I too think Detroit was stolen. They didn't need to flip votes all they had to do was mix votes up and disallow enough votes and they did that. I'm pretty sure of it actually.

But if I share that publicly everyone I say it to thinks I'm insane. I know in my gut Detroit was stolen. I live in Ann Arbor and I've seen enough of Detroit to know how easy it would be for an interested party to disrupt the vote in Detroit.
