If you have the time or inclination, maybe you could check states where Trump was the clear winner, and see if they don't have similar numbers for voters in the presidential race who left the senate race blank?

Well, maybe they did not like either of the three folks running for Senate. I'm not from MI, but in VA a lot of folks did not vote on the Constitutional Amendments, not realizing they were on the ballot. Others like my neighbor did not vote for either Senate candidate, not liking either.

But in the end, Trump had four years, two with a GOP Congress, to address voting issues and he just twittered away his time. Complaints should be sent to Trump.

Or maybe the DNC filled out the ballots, figured out how many they needed to overcome Trump's massive election night lead, and then counted them in deep blue Detroit under the cover of darkness with no oversight.

Why? No one is ever required to mark every item on a ballot.

Looks like about 59k votes not 150k, which comes out to about 1.13% difference and seems to be across the board in both GOP & Democratic counties. Of course results aren't final yet either

Now the problem is proving this. But that's what courts are for, yes?

I knew this exact scenario would play out the way it did. Democrats have proven they will do anything to cheat, so I knew there would be cheating in blue states with Democrat governors and Democrat big cities. And it almost certainly happened.

Proving it is pretty unlikely because the Democrats are skilled at this and probably didn't leave evidence of what they did. But maybe, this is why we have investigations and courts.

I don't think Trump should concede, but if the Democrats agreed to a national voter ID requirement for federal elections that would be something to consider. If we had such a requirement there is no way Biden could have pulled off the obvious fraud we saw over the past week.

So I have my ever present calculator, ready to check numbers.

I ran the votes for Texas and Oklahoma, both VERY red states.

I found that in both Texas and Oklahoma, 9.8 percent of the voters cast ballots for president but didn't cast a ballot for senate.

So it could be argued that Michigan is WAY ahead of the game, in voters who cast ballots for president AND senate.

You're welcome. ;D
