“Every time a jammed ballot was removed and reinserted, he suspects the machine may have re-counted it.”

He suspects that the machine would count ballots that failed validation? I’d be surprised if that were possible without rewriting the firmware. Every barcode scanner I have ever worked on sent no data to the host computer if the scan failed validation.

Sounds like the rats were yanking the ballot out of the scanner at the last second, so it could get read at least twice.

And the ACORN training guide on how to do this was inadequate...leading to 87 jammed machines. These machines are 10 years old...so this.has probably been going on for around 10 years.

He blamed the discrepancies on the city’s decade-old voting machines

Up until recent years we were voting on machines from the FIFTIES!

They worked fine, but were big and cumbersome. Trucking, storage, made them a pain in the arse.

Am i right in reading the votes for these areas cannot be recounted, these are majority Clinton votes, and there appears to be more votes than voters which is real fraud but the fraud will stand, while they will only be allowed to go after the votes and change from areas that trump won during the recount, areas that have no evidence of fraud....?

My thoughts exactly!

Ein"stein" should have let a good thing alone.

Now the media just might have to admit that the "know nothing" Trump actually might be correct when he stated that the "election was rigged" and that "massive voter fraud does exist!"

Even some idiot RINOs in DC were ganging up on Trump for claiming that voter fraud does exist in the U.S. on a large enough scale that some election results might be overturned.

As I'm certain these guys and gals know this, what possibly could be their reasoning for denying it? My guess, maybe they think their own election victory could possibly have been a result of fraud!

“Oh there will be something filed in court to object, by Stein.”

She’s got a bigger problem, maybe the one thing that can stop her dead in her tracks if the courts won’t....MONEY!

In the past 14 hours she has only raised $18,000. If that seems like a fair amount, consider that she has only raised $7,190,350 of the $9.5-10 million she will need. She has already spent $5.5 million on state recount fees. That leaves her with $1.7 million for lawyers, filings, election observers(more lawyers), etc.

As it stands right now Jill’s Fabulous Adventure is not just broke but more likely in debt!

“She will file lawsuits about outrageous filing fees.”

I’m sure she will try...but by then her lawyers will be petitioning the courts to sell off her assets.

It sounds to me like it means Detroit is so rife with democrat fraud that nothing adds up.

“Looks like the issue in Milwaukee is that the current results don’t yet include absentee ballots.”

Among those recounted, right? Not the original count, I hope.

Not incompetence, corruption. They have already done their cheating by inserting the ballots into the optical scanners multiple times on election night. Now it has become clear that the number of ballots is less than the counted votes. A hand recount will be in Trumps favor. Keeping the reported totals means the cheating stands but Clinton gains nothing more.

Sounds like the city districts have widespread spoiling of ballots to avoid re recounting.

This means that the Democrat run cities may be the result of sustained vote fraud for decades.

Everyone expects e.g. Detroit to go Democrat, so no one pays any attention to local elections which keep the Dems in power.

Dems get the large cities, and therefore with a couple large cities in every state, they have a fighting chance to win / keep states like IL, WI, PA, MI, NV etc. etc.

What if the poor and minorities haven’t really been voting the Dems in power in the cities nearly to the extent everyone believes? Talk about slavery . . .

Shocking that vote discrepancies exist in Detroit. Those wascally rethuglicans at work. I’m sure.
