There are small and infrequently consequential anomalies in every election, in every state. A physical corollary of this fact is that most recounts at the statewide level result in perhaps ~100 ballots changing. That's because voter fraud in the US is very uncommon and does not demonstrate reliable partisan lean, and neither do alleged "glitches".

I cannot demonstrate from my keyboard that there are no cases of "dead people voted". It probably happens very infrequently. But I would note that in this election, at least some of these accusations have been proven inaccurate by diligent journalists.

I lived through listening to liberals whine about Diebold in 2004 in Ohio and through their complaints that Cambridge Analytica somehow stole the election in 2016. Both of these complaints were powered by motivated reasoning, and ultimately unfounded. Yours is too. I would evidence my claims by noting that the board just certified Wayne County.

Is that the example you want to use?

Because on that Zoom call, Ned Steabler and Abraham Amiyah’s threatened the two withholding members, called them racists, and read the names of their children’s schools. Shortly after one of them changed their vote.

Yes, the two reversed their decision and certified with a request for an audit... but does that sound like good evidence for your point?

Regardless of how anyone feels about election fraud, I’m pretty sure the people doxing children are not doing the right thing.

Hooray for threatening women/children and mob rule?

If choosing to certify the more proportionately anomalous Livonia and not Detroit, disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Black voters while accepting White voters, is not a form of racism, I don’t know what is. I don’t throw the word around lightly, but it is the right one in this context. I realize you’re unlikely to agree.

Are you saying there’s no truth to the claim that they were more votes in Wayne County than registered voters? And that you don’t think an election board officer may find that suspicious? Did Lavonia County say they would stop counting at 10:30pm until the next morning but at 4am dump vote totals a higher rate than previously? Then continue on slowly for the rest of the week like Wayne county did? Were election observers kicked out of Lavonia County into a different room while election officers put wallpaper and window blockings up to prevent oversight like happened in Wayne?

You were either uneducated about the facts of the matter in Wayne County, and want to explain anything you don’t like away with racism, or you were maliciously trying to gaslight people.

Yes, I agree with your latter claim.

I think you’ve made your position pretty clear. threatening women and children because you disagree with an official officers opinion is OK.

I am not going to convince you that this was morally just, or that the actions of the commissioners was not racist. I am okay with that, so I will focus on leaving a record for anyone who stumbles on this unfortunate thread.

You do not have even the fundamental facts of the situation. "Lavonia County" is not a real place. Livonia is a city in Wayne County. There are some precincts where there are small gaps between the expected number of ballots and the actual number cast. This is typical, and its ubiquity reflected in the fact that statewide recounts reliably produce shifts in ballot counts on the order of ~100. The relative sizes and frequency of these gaps is actually larger in Livonia than in Detroit. These gaps do not demonstrate partisan lean, nor do they evidence voter fraud. Voter fraud is extremely uncommon, it does not shift the outcome of state-wide elections, and it does not demonstrate reliable partisan lean: there are dishonest people of all political stripes.

In spite of these facts, the commissioners asked to certify the results of Livonia and the rest of Wayne County, excluding Detroit. My position is that disenfranchising Detroit is immoral, racist, and a brazen attempt to subvert our electoral system.
