Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.
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.
Detroit’s voting irregularities spur state audit

The Detroit precincts are among those that couldn’t be counted during a statewide presidential recount that began last week and ended Friday following a decision by the Michigan Supreme Court.
Democrat Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly prevailed in Detroit and Wayne County. But Republican President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes or 47.5 percent to 47.3 percent.

trump "won" in 2016 with Michigan turning in numbers that were physically impossible....1/3 of Detroit precincts reported more votes than voters...one reason this could happen is there was a program on the software with a predetermined result...and get this in mich it is illegal to recount precincts like that, the first result has got to stand so even tho everyone realizes what was reported is not possible, trump still received the "win" for that state

//////////////////////////////////////

it is not defeatism to know what we are up against and plan to combat it, don't let anyone convince you otherwise

to overcome the rig we need overwhelming numbers
