More Detroit Voting "Irregularities": 95 Poll Books "Missing" For Days; 5 Still Nowhere To Be Found
Zero Hedge ^

Posted on 12/16/2016 5:14:15 AM PST by TigerClaws

Last night we noted that Team Hillary, which was supportive of Jill Stein's recount efforts, should be careful what they wish for. New data released yesterday revealed that voting machines in 37% of all Detroit precincts, which skew heavily democratic, registered more votes than they had of actual voters showing up at the polls. The scale of the "voting irregularities" discovered prompted an automatic vote audit by the Michigan Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson.

Today, we learn from the Detroit News, to our "complete surprise," that the "voting irregularity" rabbit hole in Detroit is a bit deeper than initially thought. According to a memo penned by Wayne County election officials, 95 of the 662 precincts in Wayne County waited several days before delivering their poll books to canvassers and 5 of those poll books are still "missing" even today.

Detroit elections officials waited several days to deliver nearly 100 poll books to Wayne County officials charged with certifying the presidential election, newly released documents show.

County clerk officials on Thursday released a memo to State Elections Director Chris Thomas that said 95 poll books from the 662 precincts weren’t available at the start of the canvass, which began the day after the Nov. 8 election. Five of those poll books, which contain the names of voters and ensure the integrity of elections, were never delivered to county canvassers and presumably remain missing.

The revelation comes atop other irregularities that have prompted a state audit. Among other issues, The Detroit News reported this week that voting machines registered more votes than they should have in one-third of all city precincts.

“I’m not happy with how Detroit handled this election at all,” said Krista Hartounian, chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, which certified the election.

“We had been seeing improvement, but this one was different. This one was off.”

Meanwhile, many of the precincts that actually did deliver their poll books in a timely fashion breached official state laws by either not delivering them in sealed envelopes and/or omitting "seal numbers from ballot boxes."

She’s not happy they got caught cheating?

Off topic but speaking of Detroit, one tangible sign that America is great again will be the reemergence of the muscle car. Big, powerful, VEEEEERY un-politically correct gas-guzzling muscle cars.

The Motor City was once the greatest city in the lower 48, and can be again.

Quick explanation:

You run the ballots through the machines a few times (usually less than the six reported in one precinct). Then you take the poll books home, and see who didn’t vote, check them off, and make the numbers tally against the extra votes. Fortunately, it’s Detroit, and the Dems tasked with this couldn’t count very well.

My first guess, anyway.

Voter ID won’t fix all issues. But making voter fraud a treasonabe offense and prosecuting it accordingly would come close.

She grossly underestimated the amount of cheating she would need to overcome the will of the people in Michigan. And she no doubt did this in many other deep blue areas as well.

All of those Deplorables from outside of Wayne County had the gall to get out and vote ruining everything.

I have a feeling any such muscle car would be built in another state, with lower taxes and fewer union bosses.

Plenty of ‘Muscle’ cars:

Ford Mustang Shelby GT650
Dodge Hellcat

650 to 715 HP...

My bet is there is a greater chance of Detroit being covered by a glacier from the coming ice age.

Aren’t todays Mustangs, Challengers, Camaros considered muscle cars? They get a lot more horsepower & torque from 2/3 of the cubic inches that the 60s/70s cars had. They may get the H.P. from power adders & computers but they still get it. And as a bonus they look pretty good too.

This was why the prosecution in Philadelphia just prior to the election was critical to increase compliance in the Pennsylvania vote.

It sounds like the National Guard needs to be called out for each election and put in charge of the voting stations. As stupid as it sounds....they are about the only folks left with some honor.
