84. what bothered me the most was the 90,000 detroit ballots where president choice was left blank.

Thu Nov 17, 2016, 11:47 AM

Nov 2016

everything else was filled out on ballots but machines didn't read ANY president vote.

The entire population
Detroit/Population
688,701 (2013)

IMO, 90,000 is an extraordinary amount of blank ballots.
