11. Those breakdowns helped Hillary, not Trump

Because of the breakdowns the machines were fed ballots multiple times. And the poll workers didn't reset their counters when that happened.

So the machines have too many votes in them, not too few. And those are mostly votes for Hillary. If Detroit is recounted Hillary's winning margin there will decrease, not increase.

Jill's work has indeed revealed problems in Detroit, but they helped Hillary, not Trump.
