2. Hope you are wrong

10,000 votes in Michigan is a pretty slim margin, considering the thousands of votes in S. E. Michigan.

That there were 80,000 ballots with no choice for Prez is really suspicious. My guess would be that it was a machine malfunction causing one (or more) of the optical scanners to pick up nothing in that oval. A hand count would have picked them up, and that's why I was wondering if anyone else had heard or read that it had been done.
