Probe of missing Georgia votes finds "extreme" irregularities in black districts

[RandomGuy]

Last year's lieutenant governor race may have had a huge undercount in black precincts. Sound like coincidence?

A trove of do ents turned over in a congressional probe of missing votes in Georgia’s lieutenant governor race — along with other voting issues — revealed serious irregularities.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee is investigating whether voting machine errors caused a large drop-off in votes in the lieutenant governor race between Democrat Sarah Riggs Amico and Republican Geoff Duncan, who won the election by about 123,000 votes. The probe is looking at why so many fewer votes were recorded in the race compared to other statewide races, as well as the voter suppression issues that plagued the 2018 state elections.

There were 159,000 fewer votes cast in the lieutenant governor race than in the gubernatorial race between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp. While it is common for down-ballot races to see fewer votes, the lieutenant governor race had twice as much drop-off as other statewide races, even though it was the second race on the ballot, The Atlanta Journal-Cons ution reported.

There were 80,000 fewer votes cast for lieutenant governor than in other down-ballot races, which represents a 4 percent drop-off from the gubernatorial race, compared to a 2 percent drop-off among even less charismatic down-ballot races. For various reasons, this appears illogical. Historically, the lieutenant governor race has had a much lower drop-off rate than other statewide races in previous elections.

More than 15,500 pages of do ents turned over the to Oversight Committee and obtained by the Journal-Cons ution shows that the election was plagued by widespread irregularities.

Detroit Voting Machine Failures Were Widespread on Election Day

More than 80 voting machines in Detroit malfunctioned on Election Day, officials say,

resulting in ballot discrepancies in 59% of precincts

that raise questions about the reliability of future election results

in a city dominated by Democratic and minority voters.

Michigan does not have early voting, so any mechanical malfunction would necessarily happen on election day, since that’s the only day the machines are used.

the precincts in question would not have been eligible for the recount because of an obscure [/COLOR]1954 Michigan law that prevents recounting votes if there is any discrepancy in ballots.

As a result, those ballot counting machines that experienced mechanical malfunction are ones that cannot be recounted to divine voter intent from the paper ballots.

. “When you have 75,000 votes for president that are blank, that could be because 75,000 people didn’t vote for President, or it could be because you have 75,000 votes that weren’t counted.”

Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes.

Repug counting fraud is RAMPANT, and actually changes election results, while in-person voting fraud in effectively non-existent.
