How to steal an election by hiding votes in plain sight [View all]

Voting machines in 37 percent of Detroit's precincts registered too many votes in the presidential election last month, the Detroit News reported Tuesday.

Records from Wayne County show optical scanners in 248 of the city's 662 precincts registered more ballots than the number of votes tallied in the poll books.

The city's voting irregularities prompted a call for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's office, according to the publication.

President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes, but Hillary Clinton received more votes in Detroit and Wayne County.
The state's recount effort ended Friday after a decision by the Michigan Supreme Court.

You have to give it to the Trump campaign.... this is genius. How do you stuff a ballot box with no one noticing? You do it in an overwhelmingly Democratic county. I'd love to see an audit of Milwaukee and Philadelphia also.
