US election: broken machines could throw Michigan recount into chaos.

17. Did you read the article? This might have actually given Hillary extra votes

Donald Trump’s slim margin over Hillary Clinton means any chance that the state might flip on a recount likely hinges on Wayne County, where she won by a landslide. Clinton lost by 10,704 votes in Michigan; Wayne’s population of 1,759,335 makes it the likeliest candidate to contain errors bigger than that margin.

Eighty-seven of Wayne County’s decade-old voting machines broke on election day, according to Detroit’s elections director, Daniel Baxter. He told the Detroit News, which first reported the story, that ballot scanners often jammed when polling place workers were trying to operate them. Every time a jammed ballot was removed and reinserted, he suspects the machine may have re-counted it.

The feed problems on the machines may have caused votes to be counted twice (or more), in a district that Hillary won by a huge margin. This would mean extra Hillary votes.

Votes were not lost or left uncounted, they suspect the opposite. Michigan is all on paper, counted by scanning machines. They still have the paper ballots.

And since people vote on paper, this would not have impacted anyone's ability to vote.
