Nonexistence Of Vote Fraud update

Votes were counted more than once in 37 percent of Detroit precincts

There is no such thing as voter fraud. We're told that over and over again by Democrats and the media. Any notion that there is voter fraud has been "debunked," which means a liberal denied it exists. And maybe if you're going to be technical about it, they're right. It doesn't appear it's the voters who are committing the fraud, at least not in Detroit. It's the election workers, who are systematically allowing votes to be counted multiple times, knowing full well that this will benefit Democrat candidates at the expense of Republicans because Detroit is such a heavily Democratic city.
The Detroit News has the emerging details of just how widespread this practice was in Detroit precincts during this year's presidential election:
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. . . . “There’s always going to be small problems to some degree, but we didn’t expect the degree of problem we saw in Detroit. This isn’t normal,” said Krista Haroutunian, chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers.
State officials are planning to examine about 20 Detroit precincts where ballot boxes opened during the recount had fewer ballots than poll workers had recorded on Election Day. “We’re assuming there were (human) errors, and we will have discussions with Detroit election officials and staff in addition to reviewing the ballots,” Thomas said.
Yes, there will always be some errors, but to see them this widespread suggests it was more than just the occasional odd mistake, especially when the nature of the mistake repeats itself over so many different precincts. This was intentional. Someone directed it. And for all we know, it's been going on for a very long time, perhaps not only in Detroit but in other major cities that vote heavily Democratic as well. And here's why it matters: We've talked about this before, but Michigan is typical of the sort of state that's been marginally blue for many years. You've got one very large city that votes overwhelmingly Democratic, while the rest of the state votes marginally Republican. If you could saw off Detroit and send it across the river to Canada (which of course many people would like to do), Michigan would be a red state forever. Even with Detroit, Michigan is capable of going red - as it did this year - but it all comes down to how heavily Detroit will vote compared with the rest of the state.

If Detroit election workers are padding Detroit's vote totals by counting votes more than once, they're increasing Detroit's overall influence on Michigan's vote totals and making it more likely that the Democratic candidate will carry the state. As it stands, Trump won Michigan by a margin of just over 10,000 votes. In reality, because many Detroit precincts counted votes more than once, Trump almost certainly won Michigan by considerably more than that because so many votes would have been awarded to Hillary multiple times. Could this be mere incompetence? While I would certainly not dismiss the possibility of widespread incompetence among employees of the City of Detroit, this particular problem is too widespread and too consistent in nature. They did this intentionally. Now: Did they only think of this in Detroit? Or do major urban centers all across the country, where elections are always staffed by Democrats, do this systematically figuring no one will ever find out? That's what someone needs to look into. And the next time some liberal claims voter fraud has been "debunked," ask them to explain this.
