Michigan election officials have responded to a video posted by Project Veritas, an organization known for undercover investigations. The organization claims to show evidence of ballot tampering at a Detroit polling location.
The video shows individuals carrying what appear to be ballot boxes into a polling station late at night, with additional footage suggesting similar activity at 2 a.m.
Project Veritas questioned why vehicles with California license plates were delivering ballots in Detroit during at night.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson publicly addressed the video, stating that the footage wasn’t recorded in Detroit. She noted that the details of the location seemed inconsistent with the city.
“Anyone that actually lives in Detroit could see it wasn’t an accurate portrayal of reality,” Benson said. However, she didn’t provide further specifics on how she identified the video as being from another location.
Project Veritas has recently focused on alleged voter fraud in Michigan. The group shared encounters in which they claim absentee ballots were associated with incorrect addresses.
In one interaction, a resident was reportedly surprised to learn of a ballot tied to an individual who hadn’t lived at the address for decades.
Michigan’s secretary of state’s office continues to stand by the integrity of the state’s election process, citing protocols in place to prevent unauthorized voting or ballot tampering.
Officials have reached out to Project Veritas for additional comment on the video, and the investigation is ongoing.
