Ok so here’s my breakdown.
I just watched Crowder doing a breakdown on these numbers, shame he’s wrong.
There are two ways to vote, either in person on Election Day (registered as Election Day in the table) or via absentee ballots (registered as AV counting board in table)
Usually the “suburbs” in Wayne county is a bit more Trump friendly that in the city of Detroit.
There are 1,406,355 registered voters in Wayne county, 311,408 voted in person on Election Day (22,14%) and 566,694 (40,3%) via absentee ballot, including the votes cast in OPs table, a total voter turnout of 62,44% Nothing strange.
City of Detroit has 503 precincts, some of them with only 1 registered voter (like precinct 109 and 148).
The problem here is that they collect all the absentee ballots from these 503 precincts, and distribute them among 134 absent vote counting boards.
As long as the total of votes (878,102) cast isn’t higher than the number of registered voters (1,406,355) there is unfortunately not much more data to extract from this.
As I wrote earlier, I’m on mobile. I tried to manually count the registered voters in the 503 precincts, but gave up after around 200, with ~210k registered voters.
This is a plausible scenario, and I need more data before I can say “foul play” like Crowder did.
As far as I can see, this is a big nothing burger.
