LANSING, Mich. — Michigan's Board of State Canvassers certified Wednesday the findings of hand recounts that upheld two ballot proposals' victories, with elections director Jonathan Brater saying the reviews showed voting machines had worked properly.
The developments at the panel's meeting marked another defeat for groups and individuals who have spread unproven claims of election fraud and dubious allegations that tabulators somehow altered votes in the battleground state.
"It does confirm that tabulators in these precincts were programmed correctly and counted the ballots correctly," Brater told the bipartisan canvassing board of the recounts.
