Given that the GOP has openly bragged about limiting Democratic votes with voter ID laws, none of this seems like that big of a stretch.
Until he comes with actual proof that votes were discarded, he's just hand waving.

The recount in Michigan. The, Republitraitor, state AG refused point blank to recount over 75,000 votes cast which the machines had stated weren't votes for anybody (because the machines were calibrated to only accept full bubble fill ins in inner city precincts), despite the fact that Dr. Stein forcing the recount so that they would do exactly that.

Why would a party political hack refuse to count ballots cast by over seven times greater than his candidates "winning" margin?
Because those ballots were legitimate spoils? Given the numbers and the geographic spread of those uncounted votes (with the vast majority being in Black areas of Detroit), it is very unlikely that those votes were deliberate spoils. If it were the case that it was either machine error or voter error, those ballots have to be hand counted by rights.
Because those ballots were cast by voters illegally voting? Given the numbers of illegal votes cast over the years to have a sudden rush of 75,000 of them in one state alone in one election defies belief.
Because those ballots were already hand counted and found to have overwhelmingly voted for Clinton? Now we're getting places. I'm not saying that this is definitely the reason, but given the facts behind the uncounted votes, the geographic spread, the likely demographics of the voters, the faults with the voting machines, the reluctance of the Republitraitor AG to count them, this is by far the most plausible answer.

And when you look at the other states where Dr. Stein forced recounts, you find the same problems or worse, for example in Pennsylvania there is no paper trail of how a single voter in the state actually cast their ballot, a giant red flag for anybody interested in ensuring a free and fair election.
