'''Detroit''' is among the [[most liberal American cities]], and is impoverished by [[Leftist]] policies. It is the largest city in the state of [[Michigan]], and the 11th most populous city in the United States. It has a population of 871,121 and is 138 square miles in size.<ref>http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/26/2622000.html</ref> Founded by French explorer Antoine Cadillac on July 24, 1701 as Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the city reached a peak population of about 1.85 million in 1950, but has now declined to less than half that.<ref>http://www.historydetroit.com/part_2.asp</ref><ref>http://www.historydetroit.com/stats.asp?4</ref> It is part of the American [[Rust Belt]], a group of formerly prosperous cities that, due to mismanagement, became so beholden to liberal interests that industry failed, for the most part. Social programs, of which there are many due to the poor economy in these cities, are a continuing drain on Detroit's finances and government.

In 1967 Detroit was the 5th largest city in the [[United States]]; in 2020 Detroit was number 24. Detroit has never recovered from the [[riot]]s that shook the city in 1967.

==Politics==
Designated as [[United States|America's]] most liberal city, Detroit is predominantly Democrat.<ref>http://www.govpro.com/News/Article/31439/</ref> Every mayor in Detroit's recent history was a Democrat. Michigan is a more conservative state, though the population is centered in urban areas such as Detroit. While there are many more Republican counties in the state, Michigan has voted Democratic in every Presidential election after 1988 until Republican [[Donald Trump]] won the State of Michigan in 2016 by 0.23% of the vote (narrowest victory for a presidential candidate in Michigan electoral history) partly because of the very liberal politics of the state (see [[Kwame Kilpatrick]]).

==History==
The first permanent structure built in Detroit was a Catholic church.

In 1979, Iraq dictator [[Saddam Hussein]] was given a key to the city after donating $450,000 to a Christian church.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/03/26/iraq/main546287.shtml</ref>

Detroit is known for being the center of the American auto industry, as well as the home of many long-suffering football fans.

==Crime==
Due to decades of leftist government, Detroit is one of the most crime ridden cities in the United States. Hundreds of Murders take place in the city every year, and one is more likely to be a victim of violent crime in Detroit than in most US cities.

Gun control has been a colossal failure in Detroit, with most guns being in the hands of gang members and other criminals.

==Government==
As of 2019, [[Mike Duggan]] is the Democrat mayor of Detroit. Every mayor of Detroit has been a Democrat for the past fifty years, including highly corrupt former mayor [[Kwame Kilpatrick]].

==Voter fraud==
:{{See also|Voter fraud}}
Recorded ballot counts in 72% of Detroit's absentee voting precincts didn't match the number of ballots cast, spurring officials to ask the state to investigate ahead of the [[2020 presidential election]].

Without an explanation from Detroit election workers for the mismatches, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers requested Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office to examine the "training and processes" used in Detroit's Aug. 4 primary, which one official described as a "perfect storm" of challenges. The board is charged with certifying election results.

In 46% of all Detroit's precincts — absentee and Election Day — vote counts were out of balance, according to information presented to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. Specifically, the number of ballots tracked in precinct poll books did not match the number of ballots counted.

The situation could amplify the spotlight on [[absentee ballot]]s in Michigan ahead of an election for which record levels of mail-in voting are expected and [[President Donald Trump]] raised concerns about how votes will be handled.

The election results for the primary weren't incorrect, said Jonathan Kinloch, a [[Democrat]] and one of the canvassing board's four members. But, he said, something had gone wrong in the process of tracking ballots precinct by precinct.

Having balanced precincts is particularly important in Michigan because precincts whose poll books don’t match with ballots can’t be recounted, according to state law. Instead, the original election results would stand.<ref>https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/20/benson-asked-investigate-detroit-perfect-storm-voting-problems/5616629002/</ref>
