Does anyone else remember Detroit Free Press paper calling state for Hillary election night?

Last edited Fri Jan 13, 2017, 06:06 PM - Edit history (1)

I was thinking of that today and I'm pretty sure I saw headlines that the paper had called the state for Hillary. Then it just went away. I'm not saying there was a CT or anything, but it is just odd.

but if true perhaps because of exit polls which showed her winning by about 4% I believe.

from Detroit and Flint. But the Republican machine that runs Michigan stopped them from being counted. Michigan uses paper ballots that are machine counted. They had problems with the machines jamming that read the ballots. They could have hand counted them.

The rest is CT stuff. BTW, news flash, the Democratic Party runs elections in Detroit and Flint not the Republicans.

From start to finish. Don't try and confuse people with the later re-count.

I've been a DUer. An observer would say what a bunch of fuckin crybabies, they can never admit they lost an election. Accorsing to DU, we win 100% of our elections.

Now, i'm not discounting voter suppression efforts, gerrymandering, ect. But for the GOP to pull off what is alleged would require such a large conspiracy there's no way everyone would keep their mouths shut, and it doesn't explain why they would be able tonsteal every election but then just happen to allow obama to win twice in a row...
