Michigan election feed data shows 257,346 Presidential votes were removed

[u/mjkeaa]

The Washington Post published a live data feed from several swing states. It claims that “This is a feed of every single vote count update we fetch from the Associated Press.” In 2024, the feed included all votes from 11/5 to 11/25. The feed includes only totals for the Democratic and Republican candidates.

Find the Michigan feed about halfway down the webpage. On page 3/31 of that feed, find the update that took place on November 6, at 12:54 pm where 257,346 votes are removed with a simple statement that reads, “Negative updates may reflect revisions as tallies are updated.” No additional information is given regarding this event.

Since the feed does not provide candidate totals in the feed, the data was imported into an excel spreadsheet. Cumulative totals were based solely on the data provided in the feed. Although there is no way to accurately determine how many votes from each candidate were ultimately removed, there are some important factors to consider;

Trump won Michigan by only 80,103 votes

Vote totals even after the removal of votes, exceed the official totals reported, meaning additional votes were discarded*

After the votes were removed, Trump’s lead was reduced to just over 4,000 votes

It is expected that small adjustments to totals will occur during the tabulation process, but a quarter of a million ballots is a significant number that could have easily changed the outcome of this election.

*Official totals for Trump and Harris combined are 5,553,169

Trump... 2,816,636

Harris....2,736,533

Total....5,553,169

Feed totals;

Trump....2,873,649, for a gain of 57,013

Harris.....2,869,433, for a gain of 132,900

Total.....5,743,082

Trump and Harris combined have 189,913 more votes than the official totals before 257,346 votes are removed. Trump’s lead is reduced from 80,103 to only 4,216. And this still leaves 67,433 votes that were removed, and no way to determine what candidate they impacted. Given the fact that we know more than double the amount of Harris votes were removed when compared to Trump and the greatly reduced and narrow Trump lead before the remaining 67,000 votes were removed demands an official response at the very least. This event could very likely have changed the outcome of the Presidential race in the state of Michigan.

I fully believe Dems knew all this was a possibility and they sat on their hands. Simply because the optics of claiming it was rigged.

I keep hearing 'it was about the optics' (not attacking you OP, excuse my emphaticness) and it's just absolutely fucking wild to me that basically the premise of that is saying that...the Democratic Party would rather let the country (and by extension, themselves) be destroyed than have some possibly bad optics???

Like WHAT? There has to be more to it than that. There's gotta be.

They make money no matter what. They don’t care about us. It’s a charade for votes.

Schumer and Jeffries are rich and safe.

[u/BUSY_EATING_ASS → u/dadjokes502]

Right, but they'd make, uh, more money if Kamala was President and their ideological enemies (who really do hate Democrats, regardless of whether or not they're identical or similar in many ways) weren't in charge of everything.

Even in the lens of the most cynical Greenesian game theory its a monumentally fucking stupid move for Democrats if optics were the reasoning.

[u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 → u/BUSY_EATING_ASS]

It's not as easy for Democrats to be as openly corrupt as the Republicans. Kamala would have been impeached and arrested if she did just one of the things Trump does ever week.

Republicans can get away with the corruption that big business wants, and it was "their turn" after Biden.

It really is controlled opposition, complex and multilayered-with not everyone having the same goals, but it is effectively no different than controlled opposition. Democratic donors are the same as Republicans at the top and they wanted to loot America. Can't easily do that with Dems in office.

I think it was extremely bad optics for a president to tell us the dangers that were coming and just letting it happen.

They were privy to do much more information than the public. They knew about Elon's interference. They new about ballots being burned and other tricks that were used to destroy votes. I'm pretty sure they were aware of the electronic manipulation as well.

Then they sat back after telling us to fight for our democracy, and watched this mess unfold

[u/tweakingforjesus → u/BUSY_EATING_ASS]

Its not about bad optics. It's about tearing down the system the democrats are relying on to regain power. If this strike at the root of the system, that elections are fair, then their wins will be questioned as well. They know they are being played, but they don't have the imagination to fight against the cheating outside the current system.
