A Michigan city council member was caught on camera stuffing an election drop-box with apparent absentee ballots just days before he won his re-election bid in a local primary.
Hamtramck City Council member Abu Musa was seen in the passenger seat of a car on Aug. 1 handing stacks of paper to the car’s driver, who then dumped them into a nearby ballot box, footage obtained by Local 4 appears to show.
Musa held onto his re-election spot in the primary four days later on Aug. 5, beating out 11 other candidates with 1,129 votes.
But only 286 of those votes were cast on election day — with 843 being cast by absentee ballot, the Daily Mail reported.
Musa would have placed fifth without the absentee ballots, according to the Mail.
Sir, you have to make it a little more believable than that.

It's crazy how that happens!
Andddd that’s why we need to ban all mail-in voting. https://t.co/IrhhLr1mmd

People are noticing.
Drop boxes and mail in ballots are the most anti-democracy inventions ever conceived of. They destroy election integrity. There is no valid argument for either. https://t.co/pTUDT8yFLt

The only reason it should be allowed is for people who are in the military or those with documented disabilities. Other people should show up to vote.
Same city, six days prior to this story coming out. If MI Gov won’t do anything about this (and obviously she won’t) Trump needs to step in. This is below the baseline of what is allowable behavior in America. https://t.co/tNF2jpWihE https://t.co/gcpSYeg5N3

If the American citizens don't have faith in the democratic voting system, this country will crumble.
From what party you ask?

Without naming names, its initials are: DEMOCRAT! https://t.co/N6V2IxTJug
You have been told this doesn't happen. It happens. Unsolicited mail voting make it more possible than in-person voting. https://t.co/XXJIzpmbpZ

It should be illegal.
Ah, the classic ballot-stuffing caper, caught on tape. But hey, if it's not a Russian bot or a MAGA grandma, does the media even care? Asking for a fortified democracy.

The Corporate Media only cares when it is Republicans. Otherwise, they look the other way.
