Michigan Recount Problems Are Emerging - Thousands of Ballots in Detroit May Remain Uncounted

40. I don't agree

There are a number of things that cause the ballot boxes from a particular precinct to not be recounted. Note the key word there is recounted.

For example, seal numbers not matching, seals missing, holes in the box, & number of ballots not matching the poll book. There are possible innocent reasons those situations could occur and other possibilities that may show malfeasance. The people running the elections have the opportunity to explain those types of things when submitting the ballots after the election. Apparently in this case none of them did so, and the Board of Canvassers certified the election.

Most likely caused by election staff errors and not malfeasance, however since the recount officials can't prove it one way or the other, they are these are set aside as damaged goods so to speak.

Now that the recount is starting, since there were no reasons originally given for the discrepancies, the recount law deems those precincts ineligible for the recount, but (THIS IS IMPORTANT) the vote totals from election night will STILL COUNT.

(If the situation was reversed and there were multiple Trump precincts with "extra" ballots or broken seals, I'm pretty certain everyone here would be screaming about cheating etc)
