AVCB means Absent voter counting board. I don’t think you register as an absent voter in Wayne county, but I might be wrong. I’ll see if I can find the 2016 results, and see if they file it the same way. On the bottom of the last page you’ll find the summary of the votes, and only ~62% of the registered voters in Wayne county did cast a vote (~22% on Election Day, and ~40% absentee) I fail to see any strange with these numbers

Still doesn’t undermine what I’m saying. The 15% turnout rate Crowder is talking about for City of Detroit, is only a tad smaller than the average rate of Wayne country which is lower than the suburbs (predominantly white republicans). Which is consistent with the rest of the country; Dems tended to vote absentee, republicans voted in person on Election Day.

The big problem is why weren’t the absentee ballots for city of Detroit counted under their correct precinct? It’s impossible to audit these numbers, if you don’t know from where (which precinct) the absentee ballot was cast from.

So you have average 22% Election Day turnout in Wayne county. Around 15-18% in Detroit, and about 30-35% in the suburbs. The rest are absentee ballots.

I still don’t see any strange with these numbers, other than that the AVCB should definitely be connected to the correct precinct for us to be able to correctly audit them.

Right, Crowder comparing 15% to 80% was entirely wrong. were those 15% were in person only, in the 85% were in person plus absentee when they were counted to the correct precinct.

So it’s a good question, why were only some pre-sinks counting their own absent tea, and others were counted in some nebulous zero registered voters black hole?

They did the same in 2016, and it’s done to save resources. Precinct 109 has 1 registered voter. Do you want to have at least 3 paid election workers waiting for this one vote that may or may not turn up in the mail? There’s a possible solution though, making it more transparent. If you decide witch AVCB gets which precincts, like precinct 1-8 gets AVCB 1, you can with ease calculate the amount of registered voters and voter turnout for that AVCB.

Look at the entire list and educate yourself before you try to discredit the information. For every precinct the total number of registered voters is reflected in both the election day and AVCB rows to show the percentage of turnout for each method. Even in the snapshot posted above, notice how there are ZERO registered voters in the precinct's election day or AVCB rows.

If you live in the city of Detroit (eg precinct 109 out of 504). Your absentee ballot was not sent to your precinct, it was sent to TCF center in downtown Detroit, where it ended up on a random (1-134) counting boards and registered and counted. There are many very small precincts in Detroit, 109 has 1 registered voter. To make counting easier for themself, they lump all city of Detroit precincts into one centralised election center, and do all the counting there.

503 precincts, becomes 134 counting boards
