Records: Too many votes in 37% of Detroit’s precincts

Wow, and when Trump talked about the election being rigged, everyone, all mainstream media, news etc, and of course, the Dumbocraps, complained he was a loose cannon making false accusations. More votes than voters? Hmm, the typical Chicago dead must have been voting again... and they still couldn't win.

    Voter ID laws would solve much of this. No big surprise, however, that liberal Democrats cry voter intimidation whenever a law gets passed that prevents illegals or dead people from tilting the scale towards Democrats...

      Amen! Here in North Carolina the liberal Democrats
      (isn't that redundant?) have done everything possible to thwart the Republican legislature's efforts at insuring the integrity of the ballot with voter identification. I had to show my photo identification during the primary voting, but some liberal judge cancelled that requirement for the election. Luckily, Trump still won.

    When pressed for an explanation, Detroit voting officials said the ballot counting machines were old, and the counters didn't always click up when a ballot went through. The persons responsible for counting ballots sent some ballots through repeatedly until the counter clicked up, but they had no way of knowing the machines were actually recording every time a ballot went through. Plausible, but still suspicious. Someone should demand those machines be inspected to verify the claim.

      Even so, that should be rated BOGUS Claim. These morons should have clear concise instructions: If it doesn't work. Stop the Job. Thats what we do in business. If the job is stopped often enough, it will get fixed. This sounds like "convenient workaround" that actually illegitimatizes the whole system.

    It goes back to Tammany Hall if not earlier. I have been reading about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton and their context. If there is something of value, and way to cheat to get it, some people will do that. It is not a surprise.

      Indeed, it has been going on for a long, long time, and it was one of those little dark secrets everyone laughed at. Should have been addressed 40 years ago, but the will was not there...I guess...

    Detroit is a cesspool. Of course, all the politicians, lawyers and people of influence that I knew are all either retired or dead. Their children haeve fled the city many years ago, leaving it to the lowest form of self serving politicians. They sucked the life's blood from the city, and are presently knawing on its bone marrow. So, why would anyone be surprised?

    These voting irregularities are completely unacceptable. We have ways of accounting for other important things where people have a motive to commit fraud, such as financial transactions. They need to dig into this, make arrests if they have the evidence, and fix the system. It's unacceptable to me that after the election supporters of both candidates claim there was significant fraud.

    How many of those 37% precincts were off by more than an handful of votes? If it was more than a handful and it was caused by "paper jams", they should fix it. I don't like the fed gov't getting involved, but I think they should get involved like when they demanded states adopt certain standards for ID based on the 9/11 Commission.

      CG, good points, and true. I am aghast that this has to something carried by Fox, and it sourced from The Detroit Free Press. It is amazing how quickly they curled up in a ball with their comfort toys and never said another word about "recounts". Yet Chicago's issue have been there for 40 years ever since Daley said "Vote early and often".

        The accountability system should not be dependent on candidate complaints. We certainly can't expect candidates to dig up evidence of fraud that works in their favor. They need some of the same technology they added to passports in recent years into voting.

          It is not a difficult thing, it is just when you mix government with business, it always becomes overpriced and a failure, Oregon proved that with Oracle, and 300 million went down the tubes for nothing. If they just did a "request for dids" and documented the requirements, and let business have to make a system that meets those (including security, so MS may be out), they could do it using off the shelf programs that could be tweaked to the requirements. The whole voting thing has been a sham, IMHO.

    Since I do not watch any news shows on abc, cbs, nbc, msnbc, cnn I do not know if this has been mentioned on their shows. But, I doubt it. As a result, the general public has absolutely NO idea this happened.
    I wonder how many non-citizens voted for the hildebeast across the country only because they were able to obtain a drivers license. I would bet they made up a huge part of the 1 or 2 million "popular" votes she got over Trump.

      Well, if you go here:

      http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireSt...

      You will find the typical anti Trump spin of "it does not matter" along with the tag lines "Hillary Clinton won 95% of the vote" subconsciously pushing the Dumbocrap agenda of "we were robbed". The skew in this article and their total downplay of the issue is obvious and illustrative of the concerted effort of the media to still win their way. I would be tempted to start a http://Change.org petition to boycott all mainstream media until they publicly apologize for their intense bias and total disregard for facts.
      You are also correct for the non citizen issue. I think a lot of this was fuel added to Trumps win. People are tired of a system of laws that changes on a constant basis to suit the elite.
