Video appears to show Hamtramck councilmember dropping off stacks of ballots before primary election (Michigan)

Video obtained by Local 4 shows what appears to be a current Hamtramck councilmember dropping off stacks of absentee ballots at a city drop box days before the August primary election.

Michigan State Police confirmed the video is part of an ongoing investigation into the residency of two city council members.

The video captures two men in a black vehicle approaching the city’s official ballot drop box.

The passenger, identified by sources as current City Council Member Abu Musa, hands several large bundles of what appear to be absentee ballots to the driver, who then deposits them into the box.

This development comes as Musa, who received more than 1,129 votes in last week’s primary election, seeks reelection to the council.

Musa is also under investigation for not living in Hamtramck. He has denied the allegations.

The surveillance footage emerges one day after two other Hamtramck council members were arraigned on election fraud charges stemming from a 2023 investigation.

That case began when the city clerk noticed unusual patterns with absentee ballots, including large bundles being submitted at the same time with similar handwriting.

That sounds a lot like certain capers that are known to happen in my Bay Area of Northern Cal. aka San Francisco area.
I recall hearing of wooden boxes full of uncounted ballots found floating in the Bay. Guess what? Nobody was arrested for it, and nobody ever went to jail. Most of the local media just had a good chuckle about it. You know the Party.

Bit by bit over the last few months I’ve seen news stories about real evidence of voter fraud. I have not kept perfect track, but I feel like the uncovered fraud dealt with the following elections:

2016
2017
2018
2019

2021
2022
2023
2024

Pretty much every election. Except one. That election we had in 2020 was absolutely clean. No fraud there. Absolutely perfect.

The Poles pretty much moved out two generations ago as the area had turned largely ghetto as basically an extension of Detroit. The muzzies moved in and have taken over ever since.

Why was there “no fraud at all” in 2020?

Because Joe Biden’s news media said there never going to be fraud in 2020.

(Even today, NPR “News” was interviewing their expert on the Trump-Putin summit. He mentioned the 2015 - 2022 continuing Russia-Russia-Russia collusion propaganda. NEVER mentioned that “We now know those reports were false.”

Nothing will change until the motor voter law is overturned and mail in voting is stopped except for deployed service members.

from Wiki,

“Hamtramck (/hæmˈtræmɪk/ ⓘ ham-TRAM-ik) is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan. An enclave of Detroit, Hamtramck is located roughly 5 miles (8.0 km) north of downtown Detroit, and is surrounded by Detroit on most sides. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 28,433,[3] and was by far the most densely populated municipality in Michigan. It is notable as the only Muslim-majority city in the United States.[6]

Known in the 20th century as a center of Polish-American life and culture, Hamtramck has attracted new immigrants in the 21st century, especially from Yemen, Bangladesh and Pakistan. In 2013, it reportedly became the first Muslim-majority city in the U.S.[7][8] In 2015, Hamtramck became the first city to have a Muslim-majority city council in the history of the United States, with four of the six council members being Muslim. 2022 it became first city with an all Muslim city council. The main road was renamed to Palestine Avenue, and mayor Ghalib’s post-election party was attended by men only, as segregation of the sexes remains traditional, even as it is being challenged by younger generations.[9][10][11][12][13]”

Yeah, “appears to show” but maybe they were fan letters sent to the new all Arab Council and Arab Mayor of Hamtramck, the first all Muslim ruling body in a US city.

Folks just can’t get enough of that.

Similar to bags of letters to Santa in Miracle On 34th Street.

If so & if the law allows. Something like that would not only put a stop in some cases for certain persons, but should also be a deterrent for others thinking of doing the same things. Certain thing things have a way of creating memories like jail sentences might not. As it seems these days,who remembers much of the criminal activity that happened earlier.
