Gosh those Trump supporters are always one thing something for nothing just like they have for the past four years and they still haven't gotten anything.

Beginning at 7 a.m. on Election Day, workers in both small and large municipalities break the seal on each ballot bag and recount all ballots inside to ensure the number of ballots in the bag matches the number written on the seal and has been logged in the clerk’s computer system. Workers rip off the stub at the end of the ballot with an ID number, take the ballot out of the secrecy sleeve, unfold it and run it through a tabulator precinct-by-precinct. The ID number stubs are stored with the secrecy sleeve to help workers double check if the ballot counts are off. Once they’re finished, the clerk’s office can report the results electronically.

The tabulators make a full scan of the ballot. High-speed tabulators can process around 80 ballots per minute. Ballots that have oddities — such as a bubble that’s only partially filled, a vote for too many candidates for the same office or a write-in candidate — will be electronically flagged and pop up on the attached computer. Election inspectors from both political parties work together to determine what the voter meant and log it in the clerk’s system.

Once again, the number of ballots in a precinct are checked against poll books to ensure the number of ballots are the same as the number of people who said they voted. If the count is different, election workers go through the precinct ballot-by-ballot to figure out what went wrong and record it in the poll book.





It wouldn't tell me a thing, polls showed Biden ahead in PA.



Of course you don't, that's because you have no idea what you're talking about.

At this point it's either that these posters are grossly ignorant of facts that have been reported on repeatedly throughout the day, or they're intentionally posting information they know to be wrong.

I wonder which it is?

It isn't about me, it's from an article by a reporter who was walked through the process. The only one who has provided information without a source was you in claiming they tabulated by hand, so the only person with credibility issues is you.

So because Trump is suing it means that what you said about tabulating by hand is true and what was demonstrated in that article with pictures on how the tallying is done in Michigan is false? You're the poster-child for naive partisan belief system.

Bzzzzzzzzzt. This isn't about the polls. Let's review:
1. You manufactured some rubbish that Michigan counts votes by hand
2. I demonstrated, with a source, that Michigan uses tabulating machines that process 80 ballots per minute and any questionable ballots are resolved by agreement of monitors from both political parties.

Carrying on about polls isn't at issue here, it sounds more like a desperate attempt at distraction.

Nonsensical flail from someone busted lying about how Michigan tallies votes.

It's because they have great reason to believe there is nefarious activities going on, it's been known that PA could be the deciding factor in this election combined with a Democrat AG, Secretary of State changing the rules a few days before election-- you have a recipe for cheating.

If the democrats spent 4 years undermining Trump, Trump will not and should not hesitate questioning the integrity of this election.

Now go back to your CCP bunker and start crying!

He doesn't appear to be the one crying, FYI.

Here would be a picture of a couple of the high speed tabulator machines they use in Michigan. You know, the place you claimed does this by hand.

And here I thought it was the Whigs or the Mug-Wumps or the Know-Nothings or the Bull Moose Party.

Aren't American politics the best??

Trumps world is all about suing and being sued. It may be the only thing he is actually an expert in.

He is becoming a bigger laughingstock than he was 24 hours ago.

The history books are going to have a blast with this one.
