"I thought that was that. Those were the results, and I said I would not seek a recount. Apparently, there was a technical glitch in Rochester Hills. And so, I actually ended up winning by a little over 1,100 votes."In fact, the margin was 1,127 votes, giving Kochenderfer a 51.67% share of total votes. Hartman received a 48.23% share of total votes.
An election-software glitch in Michigan's Antrim County that had incorrectly directed Democratic votes [sic Republican votes] to presidential candidate Joe Biden was fixed Friday, putting thousands of votes correctly into President Trump's totals.With this information, fixing the glitch and rerunning the numbers may prove a Trump win in Michigan depending on the county. With 46 more in question...the outcome is now up in the air.
The software had reportedly caused a significant number of votes to be allotted to Biden in a county that has for years been reliably red. In the presumed final count, Biden had originally led in the county by roughly 3,000 votes. Revised totals show that Trump won the county by around 2,500.
Addressing the alleged software glitch, Michigan GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox said Friday during a press conference that "47 counties [in Michigan] use this same software in the same capacity."
"These counties that use this software need to closely examine their results for similar discrepancies," she said.
Comment: How long before Biden erases those gains and then some?
