The Hillary Clinton campaign repeatedly dismissed the concerns of its own operatives on the ground in Michigan, belittling their work and ignoring warnings that she might lose the state.
The staffers based at headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, explicitly ordered operatives in Michigan not to build a voter turnout tracking system, saying they didn’t care about those numbers because their own data showed her winning by 5 points. Perhaps more importantly, they dismissed in-person voter outreach efforts and distributing literature as a waste of time, and discouraged the collection of information from what contact volunteers did make with voters.
“Operatives watched packets of real-time voter information piled up in bins at the coordinated campaign headquarters. The sheets were updated only when they got ripped, or soaked with coffee. Existing packets with notes from the volunteers, including highlighting how much Trump inclination there was among some of the white male union members the Clinton campaign was sure would be with her, were tossed in the garbage,” Politico reports. Clinton’s arrogant mindset apparently caused the campaign to miss key voter trends, such as the loss of white union members to Donald Trump in states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. On the morning of Election Day, the campaign was so confident of a Clinton victory, staffers began drinking in the afternoon and making phone calls to potential transition team picks. Around 1 p.m. on Election Day, an operative on the ground in Michigan called headquarters to warn them the voter turnout numbers they collected (in defiance of the orders to the contrary) were not looking good for Clinton. Turnout in urban precincts was down 25 percent, the operative told headquarters, and the campaign should possibly be worried.
“Nope, they were told,” Politico reports. “She was going to win by 5. All Brooklyn’s data said so.”
Turnout was down 25% so the City of Detroit was forced to fill out the ballets according to how they knew the voters were going to vote if they had shown up. Deja Vu? Remember back in 2014, the midterm elections the President said this? "Still, as president, I have a unique responsibility to try and make this town work. So, to everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too." The Dems are highly train, so much so, that they are uniquely qualified to hear the voters who decided to stay home on election day.
Because this has happened before, the City of Detroit had a contingency plan in place, so "Not To Worry!!!"
Problem is the City of Detroit miscalculated the number of stay at home voters and submitted more ballots than it had voters registered. Uh-oh, that's not good! Thanks Jill Stein. As if we hadn't seen this little trick before though. 110-125% voter turnout in Detroit? It doesn't really matter these days what anyone says about fraud. It's only said for the effect. They want it to continue! TM

Here's one of the reasons, a major one, why the Clintonistas weren't worried about MI.
ZitatJill Stein's recount efforts in Michigan have uncovered what looks like systemic election fraud in Detroit, where roughly 95% of the votes cast were cast for Hillary Clinton. Sixty percent of precincts in Wayne County had to be disqualified from the statewide recount because of "irregularities." According to Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, those irregularities look "organized" and "government involved." County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News after ballot irregularities were discovered revealed that 37 percent of Detroit precincts registered more votes than voters during the election.

Imagine by how much PEOTUS Trump actually won MI by.
Wow, that's impressive! I suppose Loretta Lynch will be all over that. NOT!
