Large-Scale Democrat Voter Fraud Operation Uncovered in Michigan

A disturbing large-scale voter fraud operation that seeks to boost mail-in ballot votes for Democrats has been uncovered in Michigan.

The scheme is being run by a shadowy leftist organization called “The Voter Project Michigan.”

An investigation uncovered evidence that the group is sending blank absentee ballot applications to tens of thousands of Michigan voters in the mail.

However, those voters did not request absentee ballot applications.

Along with the Michigan ballot application, the recipients receive a letter promoting Democrat causes.

Also included is a message from Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

The Voter Project Michigan does not have a website and the organization’s address is listed as a PO Box.

The address is listed in Dexter, which is northwest of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The mail-in ballot scheme was revealed by Jeff Id of No Consensus.

No Consensus reported on the effort after Id’s son received one of the suspicious ballot applications in the mail.

“My son just got his driver’s license and is off to college,” Jeff Id wrote.

“Two days ago we received an absentee ballot application, fully completed in his name, having his address and birthdate filled out.

“Along with that ballot was a political letter appearing to come from Governor Gretchen Whitmer advertising for Democrat issues.

“The county only needs to verify the signature to accept any application and may only reject based on the signature as well.

“You can be certain that almost none of these will ever be rejected.”

Sending campaign materials along with ballot application requests is prohibited by Michigan State laws, however.

The law states:

MCL 168.759 – Absentee Voting; Application for Ballot; Who May Apply; Time of Application; Instructions for Electors; Request by Mail; Forwarding of Ballot; Duties of Clerk

(1) A qualified and registered elector of this state who is eligible to vote in an election may apply for an absentee voter ballot in person, by mail, or electronically in the manner provided in this section.

2) The application for an absentee ballot must be signed by the elector and should include the applicant’s address, birth date, and reason for requesting the absentee ballot if requested before the law permitted “no reason” absentee voting. Applications must also include instructions on how to complete the application.

(3) The county, city, or township clerk must supply absentee ballot applications to any voter requesting one. Applications can be submitted to the clerk up to 75 days before the election.

(4) The clerk must ensure that absentee ballot applications do not contain any indication of political party affiliation or preference, and the process for providing absentee ballot applications must remain neutral and free from partisan influence.

(5) Clerks must deliver absentee ballots by mail to electors, and electors may return them via mail or in person. Special provisions are included for delivery and handling.

Leftists are praising the move to include Democrat campaigning material with ballot applications, however.

Michigan’s far-left public radio station WCMU defended the practice.

WCMU claims the Democrats running the state are acting within the law.

The outlet also insists that the mailers are not “widely effective” in swaying voters.

“As the 2024 general elections inch closer, voters have been receiving 2024 Michigan absentee voter ballot applications from groups unaffiliated with the state or local clerks,” WCMU’s AJ Jones writes.

“While it is legal for such groups to send these, a series of requirements must be met.

The practice is common and often done by non-profits and partisan-leaning groups.

“Voters can fill these out and turn the applications into their local clerk’s office,” the report continues.

“The ballots must meet a series of requirements to be accepted at a clerk’s office.

“According to state law, those who distribute these applications must print on a certification signature box, a legal warning and instructions.”

“There are lots of third-party organizations and just people, going out there and doing voter registration drives and that is legal,” claims Isabella County’s clerk Minde Lux.

According to a statement from a spokesperson at the Secretary of State’s office, local clerks must match the signatures on the third-party ballots with a signature on file.

“…Lux said she was concerned that applications like this might feed into distrust of the voting system,” WCMU added.

“She cited the fact that the mailers appear to be sent en masse, even to voters who are already registered to vote or have moved from the state.”

“I personally have received five myself, so I know whoever these organizations are that are sending them out they’re not really looking into who they are sending them to,” Lux said.

“If they were really concentrating on who they’re sending them to, I don’t think they’d be sending them to the Isabella County Clerk.”
