BACKGROUND: In the recount immediately following the
November 3, 2009 Detroit mayoral election,
candidate Tom Barrow and his team of accountants
uncovered massive vote irregularities in the
conduct of the election which affected the ultimate
outcome.

Following the challenge, the Wayne County
Board of Canvassers ruled that nearly 60,000
ballots, including all of the City's absentees,
were excluded and could not be recounted. An
additional 10,000 neighborhood precinct ballots
were deemed irregular all impacting the city's
election. The Board also discovered empty ballot
boxes counted toward the total, date and time
irregularities with the electronic voting machines,
breached seals and falsified records.
