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.

STATE OFFICIALS IN MICHIGAN ARE DEFENDING THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR VOTE TALLY PROCESS.
THIS AFTER A SUSPICIOUS VIDEO SHOWED WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN ALLEGED BALLOT DROPPING OPERATION AT A POLLING CENTER IN DETROIT.
THE VIDEO, POSTED BY PROJECT VERITAS IN 2 SEPARATE PARTS SHOWS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WALKING ACROSS A PARKING LOT… HOLDING A LONGBOX, PRESUMABLY FULL OF BALLOTS AS THEY ENTER A POLLING STATION AT 11-PM… WALKING PAST THE LINE. IN THE POST, VERITAS QUESTIONED WHY CARS WITH CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATES ARE IN DETROIT DELIVERING THESE BOXES LATE INTO THE NIGHT.
ANOTHER VIDEO IN THE SAME THREAD SHOWS SEVERAL MORE OF THESE SAME BOXES BEING LOADED INTO TRUCKS AT THE CENTER, ALLEGEDLY TAKING PLACE AT 2-AM.
MICHIGAN’S SECRETARY OF STATE RESPONDED TO THE FIRST VIDEO, SAYING THERE ARE CALIFORNIA PLATES BECAUSE THIS VIDEO WAS NOT MADE IN THE MOTOR CITY AT ALL.
Jocelyn Benson. Michigan Secretary of State.
“With regards to the video… I learned shortly after midnight, One view of the video, it… very clearly wasn’t recorded in detroit. I think anyone that actually lives in detroit could see it wasn’t an accurate portrayal of reality.”
HOWEVER…WHILE ADDRESSING THE MEDIA WEDNESDAY, SHE DID NOT OFFER MORE DETAILS ON WHAT EXACTLY TIPPED HER OFF THAT THE VIDEO WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION… LEAVING MANY TO WONDER IF THIS TRULY COUNTS AS A DEBUNKING AT THIS TIME.
THE VIDEO CONTINUES A RECENT CAMPAIGN FROM PROJECT VERITAS FOCUSING ON VOTER FRAUD IN MICHIGAN. EARLIER THIS MONTH, THEY POSTED A SERIES OF HIDDEN CAMERA ENCOUNTERS WHERE THEY TOLD RESIDENTS THAT ABSENTEE BALLOTS WERE BEING USED WITH THEIR ADDRESS.
“Ken Walker”
“He hasn’t lived here in about 20… 30 years.”
“He hasn’t lived here in 30 years… so if he voted from here in 20, that would be weird?”
“Yeah, that’s crazy”
THE SECRETARY OF STATE CONTINUED THAT THE VIDEO WAS MADE TO BUILD A CASE OF VOTER FRAUD IN THE STATE… IN AN EVENT THE ELECTION WAS TO BE CONTESTED. WE’VE REACHED OUT TO PROJECT VERITAS FOR COMMENT.
WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW DEVELOPMENTS. YOU CAN TOO.
