“My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan,” said Michigan State Senator Ruth Johnson.
QUICK FACTS:
- The Muskegon, Michigan, Police Department was asked to investigate a situation involving alleged voter fraud in October 2020 after thousands of voter registrations were hand-delivered, many of them with the same handwriting.
- The woman dropping off the thousands of registrations was later identified as Brianna Hawkins, who stated she was paid to register voters and obtain absentee ballots.
- Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch contacted the police after seeing the documents, noting that the quantity of the materials was suspicious.
- Some of the addresses on the voter registrations did not exist in the city.
- Two individuals from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s Criminal Investigation Division joined the investigation, although this investigation was never announced publically.
- Nessel still claims there is no evidence of voter fraud in Michigan.
- A Michigan SOS analyst, Cory Ames, stated in the police report that “a quantity of the voter application forms are clearly fraudulent.”
- Police investigators then turned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which hid the findings.
DETAILS FROM POLICE REPORT:
- The police report lists “GBI Strategies,” a Tennessee group connected to Democrat campaigns, as the organization behind the fraud scheme.
- Investigators discovered that the organization was paid $1,571,386 by the Doug Jones for Senate Committee, $657,260 by the New American Jobs Fund, and $188,000 by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
- Strangely, police found “pelican cases in the room with semi-automatic rifles joined with suppressors and optics and customized pistols” in offices, according to the report.
- Brilus, a leading figure involved, said the weapons belonged to the owner, whose name was redacted.
- Police also found “dozens of new phones” and “hundreds of pre-paid payment cards,” items marked as suspicious.
- The report notes that the witness connected to the affidavit believed the records and materials found at the location are important to determining the extent of election fraud and who was involved.
BACKGROUND:
- A June survey from Monmouth University found that 30% of Americans believe Joe Biden became the U.S. president due to voter fraud.
- Sixty-eight percent of those Americans are Republicans.
- Only 40% of poll respondents have faith in the structure of the U.S. government.
- The perception of Joe Biden’s presidential win being attributed to voter fraud has remained relatively steady since Monmouth University first started polling after the November 2020 election.
