The recount crusade of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein) may have turned up massive voter irregularities, but they're not the kind Democrats were hoping to find.
In heavily-Democratic Detroit, more votes than voters were found across the city and now state Republicans are calling for an investigation. According to the Detroit News, voting machines in more than one-third of Detroit precincts counted more votes than the actual number of voters who showed up.The statewide recount, which was stopped by a judge on Friday, could not be performed in those precincts and others.
“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.
Republican lawmakers in the state called for a probe last week after reports that a Wayne County precinct reported 306 votes, but had only 50 ballots.
