2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hold onto your hats, Wisconsin audit/recount: WTF! Greater than 100% voter turnout [View all]DFW
(58,586 posts)I'd say that this sample is reason enough for the Federal Election Commission to get involved to the extent that their charter permits, and the rest is an emergency issue for the Attorney General. When the number of ballots cast exceeds the number of registered voters, something is very wrong. When Trump's people start screaming loudly to stop this kind of examination, there is even more reason for the Justice Department to get involved.
If there was no concrete evidence of gross error/tampering, that would be one thing. But this is just too much to be a series of coincidences, and, like Ohio 2004, how come they ALWAYS favor Republicans? Remember that one precinct in Ohio 2004 that was actually examined. The one electronic voting machine that actually DID get examined gave Bush 3000 votes in a precinct with 600 registered voters. So what did Ohio do? They subtracted 2400 votes from Bush's margin of victory, and then STILL REFUSED to examine ANY of the other voting machines. We rolled over on that one. The stakes are a LOT higher this time. If we lose, then we lose, but let's not roll over and play dead this time just because they want us to.
