No precinct had over 12 more votes than people checking into vote; the average was only 3 votes over. It's likely it was a error or a miscalculation because there was also 300 votes that were undercounted.
Well just have to wait, but city of Detroit really needs to get their act together.
If it were truly accidental then it wouldn't move the needle so far for just one side.
The many inaccuracies found in Wisconsin is also quite embarrassing for Wisconsin -- though that state showed the random non-partisan errors that you'd expect with legitimate (rather than deliberate) mistakes.
At minimum, Detroit needs much greater oversight and regulation to ensure the accuracy of their vote.
Allow me to interject some actual facts regarding this topic in the thread. If you're not into facts, please continue with the next post (if there is one).
The vast Democratic voter conspiracy in Detroit of 782 extra votes was about 0.3% of the total vote cast in all Detroit voting precincts. There are 662 precincts in Detroit. The majority of extra votes were by about 3 extra votes per precinct. If one were to call this 'wide spread voter fraud', then that person would be engaging in wild hyperbole.
Detroit, like all Michigan voting precincts, has state-supplied optical scanner voting machines. The ones in Detroit are over 10 years old, and a great number of these machines broke down during the voting, causing problems with tabulating the votes. Additionally, the people manning the polling precincts were mostly retired people (average age of 68) who had to work over 15 hours on November 8th; most probably, discrepancies could be attributed to fatigue on the part of the overworked precinct workers. One good thing that's come out of this recount is that the Republican controlled state government has finally agreed to replace the aging and broken voting machines in Detroit.

If you wish to see a fallacious argument, I refer you to the original post in this thread.
Hey what happened to the Voter fraud in NC. Where was it. The GOP Governor was thrown out on his ear. He tried with all his might to find that fraud and it was never there.
No this proves only one thing.
The GOP wants to spend no money on anything to improve results. See the Flint water crisis to find that out.
The Michigan GOP has stolen about 150 million from people trying to get their UE by using a system that needs repair. They of course will be sued by the thousands and will be spending more on the defense of the broken system then the cost of repair.
Fallicious argument. You wish to suggest the voter fraud in Detroit is OK. Hence you create a pointless statistic as strawman.
Indeed. But given your logic, the fraud represents 78100% more than what it takes to win election.
I'm pretty certain at this point you're just trolling me.
I'm also pretty certain that you don't know the definition of 'fallicious' or 'strawman', especially since you misspelled them.
The facts remain. The discrepancies found in the Detroit voting precincts were so small that they didn't affect the election and have been attributed by the state director of elections to precinct workers who were overwhelmed by their task and to old and defective voting machines provided by the state government.
The only people seeing voter fraud are those who desperately want to see voter fraud.
According to Beverly Harris(Liberal Democrat) at BlackBoxVoting.org, 5 entire states had more votes cast than voters registered to vote. They all went to Hillary in narrow margins.
According to the NYT and dumbed-down liberals, even when there's voter fraud.....there isn't any.
