Michigan To Audit 'Significant Mismatches' In Detroit Vote

ANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan's elections bureau ordered an investigation
Monday into substantial ballot discrepancies in a small portion of Detroit's
voting precincts, after the discovery of a polling place where 300 people
voted but only 50 ballots were properly sealed in a container.
Since learning of the issue last week during Michigan's presidential recount
, state officials have learned of similar "significant mismatch" problems at
roughly 20 of Detroit's 490 precincts, said Fred Woodhams, a spokesman for
Republican Secretary of State Ruth Johnson. He said there is no reason to
think votes were not counted and the differences would not have affected
Republican Donald Trump's narrow victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in
the state.
Clinton won 95 percent of Detroit's vote.
Detroit elections officials told the state that in the one precinct, the 250
missing ballots were left in the tabulator bin, "but we want to verify this
," Woodhams said. It was not immediately clear what caused the
inconsistencies in other precincts.
Clinton cut into Trump's 10,704-vote win by only 102 votes during Michigan's
election recount, which was requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein
and which covered more than 40 percent of the statewide vote before courts
stopped it.
Many precincts could not be recounted, however — in Detroit and elsewhere
— because the number of ballots in a sealed container did not match the
number of voter names recorded in the poll book. In such cases, the election
night totals stood.
It is not uncommon for there to be slight inconsistencies, typically due to
human error.
"But when there's a significant mismatch, that's especially concerning,"
Woodhams said.
The ballots in question will be taken to the state capital, Lansing, for
review. The investigation will take about three weeks.
Roughly 2 million of Michigan's 4.8 million ballots were recounted by hand,
including about two-thirds of those in the suburban Detroit suburb of
Oakland County and one-third of Wayne County, which includes Detroit.
"We do have a very accurate system that people should have confidence in,"
Woodhams said.
Clinton picked up 833 votes while Trump gained 731 more.
"It just simply would not have changed the result," Woodhams said of the
recount.
A message seeking comment was left with Detroit elections director Daniel
Baxter. He has blamed discrepancies on optical scanners that tally paper
ballots.
Before the announcement Monday, both GOP and Democratic lawmakers had called
for an investigation into the irregularities. House Democrats criticized
the Detroit Department of Elections while Republicans said a probe was
needed to determine if there was fraud or negligence.
Sen. Patrick Colbeck, a Canton Republican, on Monday welcomed the audit and
said all problems should be documented.
"This needs to be done while memories are fresh in order to help devise a
plan to eliminate such concerns for future elections," he said. . | t******r

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.
