Michigan Lawmaker Under Investigation After Late-Night Ballot-Stuffing Video Emerges UPDATE: 2nd video of the councilman stuffing ballots released
A Hamtramck City Council member in Michigan is facing scrutiny after seemingly being captured on video participating in stuffing ballots into an official drop box just days before his primary election victory.
Video footage obtained by Local 4 seemingly shows Council Member Abu Musa in a black vehicle on August 1st, handing what appear to be stacks of ballots to a driver who then places them in the city's ballot drop box. Musa went on to receive over 1,129 votes in last week's primary election.
In an interview with WXYZ, Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown explained the rules governing ballot drop-offs, noting that while there's no limit to how many ballots one person can submit, they must belong to household members or immediate family.
"If it's an immediate family member or you co-inhabit with somebody ... you can return their absentee ballots," Brown said.
At this time, Musa has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
The investigation comes amid election-related charges against two other Hamtramck council members. Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan are facing felony charges for allegedly forging signatures on absentee ballots during the city's 2023 council race.
Court documents from Attorney General Dana Nessel's (D) office say the pair allegedly conspired to obtain signed but unvoted absentee ballots from recently naturalized citizens and filled them out with their preferred candidates. The documents also allege vote-buying schemes designed to influence local elections.
Hamtramck, a Metro Detroit community of just over 28,000 residents that is more than 70% Muslim, became the first U.S. city governed by an all-Muslim council in 2022.
Michigan State Police are expected to forward their findings to prosecutors soon for potential charges in the ongoing investigation.This message has been edited. Last edited by: wcb6092,

This is why the democRATs are against voter ID. It makes it harder to cheat and that is their stock-in-trade.

The bigger shock for me is that the Attorney General is involved and going after fellow Democrats especially in Wayne County.
The Wayne County Democratic machine is what gave us stellar people like Kwame Kilpatrick, Coleman Young, Jennifer Granholm, our A.G. Dana Nessel, our Governor Big Gretch and Jocelyn Benson, our Secretary of State (who’s in charge of our elections) and also running for Governor at present.

A vivid example of how the big Democrat run cities screw up Michigan for the rest of us.
