It's ok if he still loses. In this day and age of balloting messes, a hand recount can only help ensure the integrity of the election. I think there needs to be a national standard with machines, but that cuts against the federalist structure of the country.

Even if nothing changes in the hand recount, the city's election sysytem needs to improve - hopefully that's on its way with Currie no longer around.

quote:

Kwame Kilpatrick won this race by 15,000 votes. There is no reason to believe that he will not be certified again as the elected mayor of the city of Detroit, even though this challenge has been brought to recount the vote," said Baker-Lewis.

Baker-Lewis said the hand recount will cost the city of Detroit more than $600,000.




Do Hendrix voters feel this is right, or wrong?

They should throw the election out. With everything that's recently come to light about Jackie Currie's staff, I would argue that it's an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Doctors,

What dollar amount do you think is reasonable for a recount? Freman will have to pay $7,200 for his request - $10 per precinct.

It's the county that bills the city after the recount is over.

I echo what Cletus said. While Kwame supposedly won by 15,000 votes, who's to say those weren't 15,000 dead voters? Nothing would surprise me. Either way, I bet the results are off by a minimum of a few thousand with a recount. How long before the CC members demand a recount as well?

Whatever the outcome and whomever is or remains mayor will need all of the help it can get. Otherwise, a re-call rather than a re-count will emerge.

I don't know about the City of Detroit charter, but most, if not all city charters contain provisions for re-counts. In all cases(that I know of), the candidate requesting the re-count bears the entire burden of paying for the re-count.

I highly doubt this will change the outcome, but as someone already said, it will ensure integrity and make sure that not too many people lose faith in the system, and that's really all that counts in the Democratic process.

Well, ilovedetroit, Hendrix knew that if he wasn't around you wouldn't have anything to post on this forum. It's Hendrix's way of getting back at you instead of tracking you down in the streets and gunning you down like you feared. Preferably, I would like to see him do the latter.:-)

Will this just be a regular hand recount, or can they throw out ballots if irregularities are found? I figured with so many absentee ballots having been mailed prior to the elections, and many of them sent to dead people or abandoned/vacant property, it would stand to reason that at least some of these absentee ballots are fradulent.

I can see if the election were closer, then yes of course I would even say a recount. But costing the City of Detroit $600,000...that's way too much money! And what if it comes out that Kwame won by even more votes....I can't see just throwing money away especially when we are already struggling. It seems a bit selfish to me, very selfish. We're broke, we can't afford it. And just to do it "to ensure integrity"...and I say again....we're broke. That's taking away $600,000 from the budget. A budget that is already messed up. Will that mean some more people will have to lose their jobs? Man, I hope that the outcome is different. Because if we spend $600,000, all because Mr. Freman said so, he better win or I am going to be royally pissed off. Freman can run again in 4 years

First off, why in the heck would it cost $600,000? In the last recount, the county billed the city of Detroit $77,000 for a city council recount. Where is the $600,000 estimate coming from?

Second,Kilpatrick supporters are already on the attack and calling Hendrix selfish for asking for a recount, which is his legal right. With all the reports of the tabulation irregularities and the messed up exit polls, he is within his right to ask for a recount.

Third, good luck to both candidates. Hopefully the hand recount will satisy everyone that the tabulation was fair, regardless of the outcome.

Quoted from an email I just received from the Hendrix Campaign...

"Hendrix listed a few examples:

1. Six or seven of the transmission lines that send the precinct memory pack data from the check in stations malfunctioned on election night. The public was left to believe that something went wrong with those lines. SBC was brought in that evening to attempt to fix the lines. On Thursday, after the election, it was discovered that there had been nothing wrong with the lines after all. Instead, someone had mistakenly left the testing software on the lines in seven separate locations. Computer experts say that the fact that the testing software was left on the lines should have been apparent to anyone with a computer monitor networked to the count tabulator.
2. Eight memory packs from precincts were missing until a day, or two, after the election. When found, they were merged into the election results, adding 2,326 votes into the mayoral race. When this data was combined with the Election Day totals more than 8,500 votes were added mayoral votes, not the 2,326 that should have been added. The result of the discovery netted Mayor Kilpatrick approximately 225 more votes after the accumulation than merely adding the raw data.
3. Prior to the eight missing memory packs being found, the election results gave the Mayor a 52.79% win. It also gave Janice Winfrey, the City Clerk challenger, a 52.79% win. What is the probability that these percentages could be identical to the one hundredth percentile? After the merger of the eight missing memory packs into the totals, the Mayor’s percentage was driven down.
4. Sealed ballot boxes were found a week after the election.
5. Approximately 1,500 “Ambassador” AV ballots have been challenged on my behalf on Election Day."

the hatred of Helmut supporters is still strong. Name calling and the like. Even hopes of somebody getting shot. All from Helmut supporters? And they called for unity and fairness?

Regardless, Helmut is doomed to crash and burn a second time as they discover state law says that if ballots cannot be counted, the certified results stand. So if Helmut finds faults with the ballots, he is out of luck. They will put those ballots aside (the box or precinct) and try to count what they can. After the FBI and State Secretary both said they were satisfied, what does Helmut think he will find? They are just giving into their hate. Sounds familiar like a sequel or deja vu.

Funny how some of the same people around town are now "concerned about the cost" of a re-count, yet thought nothing of the millions of dollars in lawsuits (illegally fired/demoted police officers), extravagant credit card spending, credit card late fees, petty cash spending, petty cash theft, unbalanced budget, poor city bond rating, land/rental homes deals, kickbacks, contracts to friends/family, erroneous EPU overtime, unqualified friends/family on the payroll, etc. Deja vu indeed.

Brian, the idea of Hendrix's supporters giving into hate is such a hypocritical statement coming from you. You have been giving into your hate for Hendrix since I don't know when. I would love to know what it was that Hendrix did to you to get you to hate him so.

And what about name calling? You have been calling Hendrix "Helmut" eventhough you know that he prefers "Freman." However, you in no way see it as name calling.

Brian, as always, you are one piece of work. Remember to tell us why you "hate" Hendrix so. Be a man for a change and answer a direct question, instead of running behind little boy responses. Show us on this forum that you are finally ready to grow up.

Just so its clear, not one ballot so far has been checked to determine the actual intent of the voter. All the certification process did so far was to make sure the number of ballots counted equaled the number of voters who actually voted in at a particular precinct. For example, if 56 people signed in at a precinct, then the state checked to make sure there were 56 total votes in that precinct. They have not checked to determine if the result said 30 votes for Kilpatrick and 26 votes for Hendrix, that there were actually 30 ballots that indicated a vote for Kilpatrick and 26 ballots marked for Hendrix.

lets do a little math,
Kwame 124,000 votes
Hendrick 104,000 votes
total 228,000 votes
are you telling me that it is going to cost $3 to count a vote? They are counting then NOT buying them.

Also, If Kwame had lost, HE would have been screaming for a recount on Wed. morning.

Just more spinning from that geeky PR guy.

LMAO at Kilpatrick supporters screaming about wasting tax-payer money. That's just too funny. As far as the outcome goes, Kilpatrick will probably prevail. But I can't think of a more likely place than Detroit where a 14,000-vote descrepency can be found. This is truly the election that will never die. Let all of the spinning and hate of the election sequel begin anew.

Huh. All the more reason to recount them and to discover any irregularities. IF ballots are being destroyed or altered, I want to know. There appears to be a mountain of evidence of either incomptence or malicious intent. In either case these alarming number of irregularities need to be addressed. What, if any, ballots were destroyed? What, if any, ballots have gone missing? What ballot counts don't match reported vote counts? A recount will force the cataloguing and investigation into these irregularities.

I could find the $600,000 in matter of minutes for the City. They simply need to renegotiate their 1,500 leased telecommunitcation circuits from SBC down from the $6,000,0000 a year they pay a more market correct $3,000,000. Joe Harris recommended that four years ago. Just think, we could have a better communication system for the City and still have the Aquarium open...simply by following the AGs suggestion on one simple matter.

I might be wrong and sorry to post a maybe, but it seems to me from the FREEP that it was Kwame's campaign manager who threw out that $600,000 figure. Therefore, it is questionable given his alliance.

Whatever I don't care. I am confident that the recount will show Kilpatrick as the winner. I think it is just kind of pathetic of Hendrix. Seriously take it out that it was Hendrix who lost and maybe it would have been Kilpatrick...I would still say waste! Why? Because he lost by 6% - 16,213 votes (think that was the number I heard on the radio this morning) - that is significant. If it was 1-2% would agree with Hendrix to do a recount - because as much as I don't care for him - if won legitimately he should be mayor. However, I don't think he had and he lost by a significant margin.

What's pathetic is that you think everyone wants a recount because they think it will change the outcome. How many more times does it have to be said that the outcome will almost definitely be the same, but that what matters is the democratic process? What aren't you getting through your head? As for wasting money, you have got to be kidding me. This is FAR more admirable than spending city money on yourself and your friends.

I have to agree with LMich. If there's an error in the process, it needs to be fixed. The final outcome of the election itelf is irrelevant to this matter. Think of it like a system/process audit.

If there was maliscious behavior, people should be getting fired and jailed.

If everything worked well. Kudos to Detroit. Only 228,000 voted out of nearly 900,000 residents. I would wildly estimate that comes to approximately 800,000 non-dead, real world voters. If the recount shows everything is kosher, it might just be some incentive for these folks to do their part and vote. Since a politician has very little power when they lose elections, they have very little reason to risk helping folks who are too lazy to give the simple thank you of a vote.

Helmut supporters either have no memory or are unaware (a nice way of putting it with no name calling) of the process.

There was a recount which exposed many errors which mirror the ones reported in Detroit and more. It was in Livonia about six years ago and the recount board chair stated that they never say anything so absurd, to paraphrase. I don't recall the exact words. But the votes could not be recounted and the certified results stand per state law.

Why did Bush win Florida? Because the SOS is empowered. Check the law and understand what Currie has been complaining about for the past ten years as the SOS has hurt the voting process here in Detroit.

So do a recount, get angry and then be satisfied that Helmut lost and the 'irregularities' stand.

Just like Helmut would not endorse his polls because he could not stand behind them he has not endorsed his own recount request because he knows he can't win. He neglects to mention the Archer years and the problems encountered during the same process. He, as deputy, said the process was fine and that any reported problems were simply attacks on Detroit. How his personal desires has clouded his mind. Now he is just a shadow of his former self. He is losing whatever dignity he had after his hate filled campaign and sore winner/loser style. Even his strongest supporters are acknowledging that KK got the youth out to vote and left Helmut looking wondering what happened. Helmut thought he was going to ease to victory on those absentee's. NOT!

Royce, let me know which poster goes by the handle of stupid since you and other Helmut supporters like to use that to identify folks.

Once again, "Helmut" this and "Helmut" that. What a parrot, and a political hack. People could say until they are blue in the face that it's all about the process and not about the outcome, but the words would never stick. Dense isn't even the word to describe that state of being.

Brian, methinks the voices of reason are not resonating with you. Why don't you take off your "Helmut" just this once? Ok? lol

We're talking about 14,000 votes! If Kilpatrick didn't tamper with the vote, or suspect someone else did, then he has nothing to lose from a recount. In fact he has everything to gain. There's no way that Hendrix is going to "hanging chad" his way to 14,000 votes, so the mayor and his supporters should just sit back and enjoy the vindication Hendrix is so graciously giving them. Unless there is something to hide.

I see you insulting jerks don't know the voting process. [Yeah, if the shoe fits, wear it. I called you jerks, because that what you all act like!] A candidate can only request a recount AFTER the numbers are OFFICIAL. Get it! With the prolonged mishandling of the voters' ballots, we finally heard from the board of canvassers.

It seems that you all should be concerned about your rights as voters, but no, you all want to insult each other and not deal with REAL issues.

What the hell is going on with your ballots, why are so many folks touching them, what is the real issue, and why are they being handed out like candy on Halloween. Talk about voting apathy? Where is the outrage! And you folks just want to talk about each other. How immature, disconcerning and silly of you adults. I'm disappointed, upset and some of you truly don't care about what's going on. If this were the 60s, which history does repeat itself, you all are pathetic and if the revolution [social change] came, some of you would be hung on telephone polls. Where is your SERIOUSNESS, YOUR RADICALNESS, YOUR CONCERN AND AWARENESS!

Whew, I Got it Out and Off! Now you all can go back to your silly ass,joking statements as the process continue to be tainted and un-noticed by you On-Top-Of-Everything folks!

What are you afraid of with the recount? Are you afraid Kilpatrick may not come out on top after all? Yes, this recount will likely not influence the outcome of the election. But what's the harm in making sure the kind of grievous errors that happened on election night do not happen again?

or are you just going to keep countering with stupid ad hominem attacks that we all know the moderators will let slide?

Sheriff's office joins watch over Detroit ballots
2 judges divide on security needs

November 26, 2005

Email this Print this BY KATHLEEN GRAY and BEN SCHMITT

FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was granted a request Thursday to increase security for ballots from the Nov. 8 election.
So who's minding the ballots from Detroit's election?

Seems like just about everybody at this point.

Responding to an emergency request from Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a Wayne County judge, early Thursday, ordered the county sheriff's department to guard a Secretary of State office to make sure no one tampers with ballots cast in the Nov. 8 election.

Those guards are in addition to the Michigan State Police troopers already protecting the ballots at the office in Detroit's New Center, where they were taken Wednesday after another Wayne County judge ordered them held for safekeeping.

While I don't like the way Kwame manages himself and the city government, at all, Detroit is flourishing in more ways than one DESPITE his leadership. Detroit will not die or succeed because of any one mayor. I thought we were all smart enough to realize that. If you (Romanized) are going to tell us that Detroit was better off 4-5 years ago than it is now, than you've truly lost all credibiility. You can hate the mayor all you want (personally, I think people are taking this whole thing (and politics in general) FAR too personally), but at the end of the day, no one mayor in ANY one city can kill or give life to a city in one (or even two) terms.

Nothing short of a social revolution within both the city and metro will bring many of the neighborhoods back, which will have to include ALL of the citizens of Detroit.

LOL @ rasputin.

Where is the love?

I have been taking shots at the mayor for 4 years. I ain't about to stop now, just cuz November 8th has passed. Don't like the dude. That did not change just because he was re-elected.

Yes, but there are legitimate criticisms, and then there is the sad hackery seen so often, here. I want to see Hendrix go through with this, and get to the bottom of any possible ethics violations or crimes. At the same time, some on the Hendrix side should be ashamed of how they've dealt with the outcome of this election. Political hackery is probably the saddest thing this country has seen in the last few years of our democracy.

lmich, as wonderful as that all sounds. You know it is tripe. Folks still talked about reagan, clinton, bush, engler, etc... after they were re-elected. I have been upfront from the beginning, I had no real love for McPhail or Hendrix. I would support ANYBODY BUT KWAME. No amount of name calling, or can't we all get along crap is going to make me change MY opinion. This was the first (and probably the last) election I ever got involved with, simply because of strong distaste for the mayor.

Jmil - You said you have "no...real love for Hendrix"? And you worked on his campaign as a volunteer...that is why he didn't win. People like you supporting him

Skulker - You are just a ridiculous angry nerd - I bet you get all blotchy faced when you get mad? And anyone that wants to participate in this forum should be able to...I think a few of the folks on here are boarder on insane but they are entitled to their opinions as well. Calm down and take a chill pill little man.

Wow. So angry. Is that how the so-called Kilpatrick supporters respond to adversity? are the so-called Kilpatrick supporters afraid of the recount? will they handle the results with similar anger?

Boo to the thugish ruggish mayor

"Yall's Boy" got the "street vote" which gave him four more years to spend our money on strawberry's replacement and the bullets to take care of her.

It is appalling that a public administrator so incompetent could get reelected.


The next four years will be the most lassitude period of my life.



why did a jack asss like him win>?

ILD, he didn't win, because he did not get enough votes. As a volunteer, I did quite well thank you. Just because I didn't gush all over my candidate like a young boy discovering his first love, does not mean that I can't support them. You should know by now, you can't set the rules for me.

Aram - You can start responding when you move to the city. Grow up little boy and finish college first. I like how you take your anger at me into other threads...so juvenile. Then again what would we expect.

The so-called Kilpatrick supporters are now resorting to playing the residency card. Is this what Kilpatrick tells his volunteers to do? Is this how the so-called Kilpatrick supporters are told to respond to satire?

if you don't see the tongue-in-cheek parody in my last two posts in this thread, you're apparently skipping over every post Brian has made in the past month. which i guess isn't a bad thing, but I'm just messing with ILD. And he/she/it isn't getting the joke.

Since most of the Hendrix supporters live in the suburbs I am sure us tough ass Detroiters will kick your suburban butts! :-)
