Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has announced that a statewide election audit process affirmed Michigan's vote-counting machines are accurate and Joe Biden won the state's Nov. 3 presidential election.
"This statewide audit process affirms what election officials on both sides of the aisle have said since November - that Michigan's election was conducted securely and fairly, and the results accurately reflect the will of the voters," Benson said.
Hundreds of Republican, Democratic and nonpartisan municipal and county clerks from more than 1,300 local jurisdictions took part in Michigan's statewide auditing exercise, hand counting more than 18,000 ballots that were randomly selected throughout the state, she said.
In the hand count, President Biden received more votes than former president Donald Trump, and the percentage of votes for each candidate was within fractions of a percentage point of machine-tabulated totals.
In the state's three largest counties, each of which uses a different voting machine vendor, the audit results were also all within one percentage point of the November results.
In the statewide sample, Biden received votes on 50 percent of all ballots reviewed while Trump received 48 percent. In Wayne County, which uses Dominion machines, Biden received 68 percent, while Trump received 31 percent. In Oakland County, which uses Hart machines, Biden received 57 percent while Trump received 41 percent, and in Macomb County, which uses ES&S machines, Biden received 44 percent and Trump received 54 percent.
