If he is in a not to distant 3rd place he might be rationalizing it by thinking he can get 2nd. He should also have Benny's votes counted as he is the one he wants to beat and perhaps Benny got too many votes?
Guess anything is possible, but based on the preliminary figures i found....
Tom Duggan write ins. 52.59%
B. napolean. 29.63%
krystal crittendon. 5.53%
lisa howze. 4.79%
Mr Barrow. 3.86%
there would have to have been a huge number of errors. This is like dealing with my 3 year old granddaughter......how many times do i have to say NO. Mr Barrow, the people have spoken [[5) times, the answer is no.

If he talked to some election workers who worked at the precincts perhaps he'd give this up, take his bat and go home.
Ya think?
:)
He has turned into a Moron, perhaps I should say Moroun. I am sure if he was the only candidate he would still lose.
I do have some sympathy, years and years and years ago, he was actually a viable candidate
When I read the title, I thought he was counting how many hands he had.
Lily,
The man [[and I am using the term loosely) is nuttier than squirrel shit! This is the same idiot that requested a recount in 2009 that held up somethings in the 2009 General Election [[ I was a pollworker that year).
DP....I have friends that work as election precinct workers and they told me how Duggan and Napoleon's pollwatchers were surprised by the sheer amount administrative work that occurs at the end of the night. There are sooooo much paperwork that must signed, checked and placed correctly because in the Federal and State elections the State of Michigan board of canvassers which includes the secretary of state, Ruth Johnson, must "bless" the final count. During the local elections, Wayne county clerk office "bless" the election.
Awesome HT! --:D--

No! It's all a conspiracy. Those numbers can't be right! --:rolleyes:--
Detroiters, cannot think outside of default expectation, or spell, after all.............
I think Detroiters, no matter what their lot in life, are just plain tired of excuses and the status quo.Quote:

My sediments exactly.Quote:

Not to mention using every avenue possible to get people off the ballot. When he got Duggan off the ballot and he started a write-in campaign, I have no doubt that Barrow is the one who scoured city records to find Mike Dugeon to cause confusion in a greater effort to derail Duggan.
That is quite the insult to squirrel shit.Quote:

With sediments like that, you should be thrilled that Barrow wants to stir things up!Quote:

Barrow may have looked at the same figures you did & saw that Tom Duggan got 52.59% ;)Quote:

The more Tom Barrow the better!! Detroit has a penchant for electing the person who is being "picked" on. The way I look at it the more Barrow opens his pie-hole the more Duggan looks like the victim, and more votes for him come November.
This is what I thought too. Duggan may not have gotten as many votes as he did in the primary if he was on the ballot. People tend to sympathize with someone that seems to be unfairly targeted.Quote:

It's like Duggan's a star quarterback, and Barrow is a mediocre linebacker on another team trying to break Duggan's leg so his team has a chance to win.

Maybe Barrow knew this was upcoming? The article is very vague...how did Duggan get so many votes discarded?
Now that is embarrassing.Quote:
