How does she know about these ballots that are “blank” is this public knowledge?
Yes, vote tabulations show the candidate totals, a blank ballot tabulation and a total of votes cast.
On a separate note in Maine I have not seen a total voter turnout, but each of our six referrendums garnered more votes than the presidental vote total. The largest margin was Q3 which would have required background checks for private gun sales. 13,000 more voters voted on this measure than voted for president. This equates to about 2% which is the same percent as the 75,000 blanks in Michighan.
Running up to the election there were a lot of people saying they could not vote for either or the other two. Some of these people still wanted to vote in down ticket races and referrendums.
Bill the Clintons for it.
Willful suspension of disbelief.
Good. Let them keep pouring time and money into the waste of time scam and ignoring the Louisiana Senate race.
Idiots.
So we had nothing to do with his win.
She is a complete moron and I hate her more than I can find words to use to describe it.
There were so many people who said they would not vote for hillary or Trump. They probably voted the rest of the ballot, just not the top slot for president. This happened in 2012 and no one was worried about it. A lot of Republicans didn’t want Romney and left that blank when they voted. Same this time. Also when we had the choice of Dole, Ford, McCain, etc a lot of Republicans just left the vote for president blank.
“Stein said Wednesday the more than 75,000 blank votes in Michigan’s presidential results were a “red flag” that fueled her desire to seek a statewide hand recount of 4.8 million ballots.
The 75,335 ballots cast without a vote in the presidential contest were twice as many blank votes as the 2008 election and a 61 percent increase from 2012.””””
She is reaching for straws, IMO. I always leave blank votes where I don’t know who the people are or even when someone is running UNOPPOSED. Judges—School board members—I don’t know one from the other, so I leave it blank.
However, I am not surprised that many people left the Presidential vote blank. They were just not comfortable with either candidate. That does NOT constitute voter FRAUD...Only indecisive thinking.
NO matter what-—Michigan voters & citizens should NOT be paying their money to pay for this folly. Stein is a total jerk.
I gave a 100% guarantee Trump would win the election. I am now giving a 100% guarantee Trump will win the Electoral College vote.
