Democrats are setting up to blame Republicans and scheduled changes to the struggling U.S. Post Office for their upcoming November mail-in-ballot scheme, yet key cities are already reporting widespread counting failures.
Officials in Detroit found 72 percent of precinct results in the poll books didn’t match the number of counted absentee ballots in this year’s primary. Most of the failures were in overcounting votes.
According to Michigan law, precincts whose poll books do not match the ballots can’t be recounted, meaning the initial results would stand.
