"In the 2020 general election in Detroit, 72% of the AVCB results were “out of balance,” meaning that the number of votes tabulated by the voting machines did not match the number of voters recorded in the electronic poll books (EPBs). And yet, by state law, because they were out of balance, a recount could not be done. What were the vote tallies in each individual precinct? Were the ballots legitimate? Were signatures properly verified? We will never know. Centralizing vote numbers does not allow us to know what happens in each precinct where mistakes or intentional malfeasance could be more easily tracked."
