Re: next time for president select a leader that a clown car full of clowns can't beat

16 EC votes. Just a for-instance.

“This is the perfect storm of incompetence and timing,” said Mark Brewer, Miller’s attorney and a former Michigan Democratic Party chairman.

Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett declined comment, but longtime observers say the episode is the latest in a series of sloppy elections across Michigan that test voters’ faith, particularly in Wayne County.

In the county’s largest city, Detroit, ballot irregularities have prevented full recounts in three consecutive mayoral elections. City Clerk Janice Winfrey faces a tough re-election campaign in the Aug. 8 nonpartisan primary next week because of a host of snafus from broken machines and missing ballots to last November’s national embarrassment, when more than half of Detroit’s 662 precincts were ineligible to be recounted because the number of ballots in voting machines didn’t match those in poll books.

Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes.

Yeah, it's all because Hillary was such a horrible candidate. It had nothing to do with voting systems that were unable to accurately count the votes of every American who wanted to vote. Voter ID laws, inadequate funding of modern voting systems, etc., etc., are pushed by Republicans (and Michigan's state government is run by Republicans) and keep Democrats from voting just coincidentally. Amirite?

(sigh)

Just about every close state you could pick had issues like these. Just a coincidence. Yup.

Cheers,
Scott.
