Cameras Catch a Michigan City Council Member Stuffing the Drop Boxes at Night
That thing that never happens just keeps happening.
In the days before the August 5 primary election in the troubled city of Hamtramck, Michigan, surveillance videos caught several people allegedly stuffing the municipal ballot drop box with suspicious ballots. An August 1 video shows two men in a car handling stacks of ballots and placing them into Hamtramck's drop box during the day. In another video, a pickup truck arrives at the drop box after dark with three people inside. The driver gets out of the truck and crams stacks of ballots into the box but has trouble because the box is so full. Stuffing drop boxes while no one watching for cheaters is a recipe for election corruption. That is why President Donald Trump announced this week he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, which can be cast by using a drop box. Trump also wants to stop using voting machines and return to voting with paper ballots. Big dumps of ballots are suspicious because Michigan election law allows ballots to be dropped off only by the individual voter, a member of the voter's immediate family, or someone living in the voter's home. Local news reported that Abu Musa, an incumbent city council member who is up for reelection, appeared to be in both vehicles caught on video. But the identities of the people in the vehicles have not been confirmed by officials, and no charges have been filed. ... Musa received 1,129 votes, winning the primary with 13 percent of the vote. Residency is required to hold office as a city councilor. The weekly Hamtramck Review reports that Musa's wife and two daughters live in another town, yet Musa says he lives in another home in Hamtramck and is not separated from his wife. Musa and city councilor Mohammed Al-Somiri were named in a 2023 election fraud case but were not charged. Others named in that case are city councilors Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan, who were charged last week for election fraud, specifically two felonies each: forging a signature on an absentee ballot application and forgery under Michigan's election law, Michigan Public reported. As Logan Washburn reported for The Federalist last year, investigative reporters at Project Veritas heard officials may be ballot harvesting and bullying people for their ballots in Hamtramck, so it investigated. Project Veritas contacted Musa and city councilman Mohammed Hassan and offered to connect them with blank ballots from immigrants who didn't know how to fill them out, so the ballots would not go to waste. Neither man rejected the offer and both knew how to get the ballots counted.
The Third-Worldization of America is almost complete. It's not fair that America should be an orderly, law-abiding, prosperous, high-trust society when the rest of the world is disorderly, crime-ridden, poor, and low-trust, so we'll just have to Make America the Middle East.

Also, I'm fairly certain Michigan cracked down HARD on anyone who tried to film these boxes, because they wanted to support Democrat vote fraud.

One of the big issues in the election campaign was that a non-Muslim candidate filed a complaint regarding the volume of the amplified Islamic call to prayer from a local mosque.
Because part of diversity now is having to tolerate amplified calls to prayer five times a day, the first of which is pre-dawn (that call literally says in Arabic "prayer is better than sleep").

While I agree that in-person voting should be required, they'll find another way to cheat. Insufficient ballots, wrong ballots, wrong pens for the ballots, and on, and on, and on...
And even then they'll find some way to fuck with the tabulators. The government is too big, there's too much money and power at stake to risk having voters choose incorrectly.

After the 2020 election, I said that the most important thing the country had to do was ensure the integrity of elections, and that without that, nothing else mattered. Ronna McDaniel did nothing, of course, but Trump is doing everything that needs to be done. The Dems will fight this to the death, because, to use an overused word, it's existential for them.

One thing I noticed, it’s difficult to explain, but there is a natural ebb and flow to party politics. If the Democrats hold the White House going on four (4) terms, it is reasonable to conclude the electorate is ready for a Republican, albeit only because they have forgotten how screwball they are. The reverse is also true.
My hypothesis has long been, similar to the Keynesians believing they could short circuit the business cycle and maintain permanent prosperity by tweaking the right economic levers, Leftists could no longer abide by periodic, wholesale rejection of their schemes - Nixon in 1972, and Reagan in 1980
As the old saying goes, Whitey don’t riot, he just votes Republican.
So a massive, comprehensive and pervasive cheat program ensued, coupled with massive illegal migration. The main thing this did, was allow Democrats to Let Their Freak Flag Fly.
This became glaringly obvious in recent decades. They no longer had to comcern themselves with appearing to care for the electorate, or compromise, or anything resembling politics. They assumed they had a lock on everything and further, would never be held accountable for any of their atrocities. Frightening.

We had a Battle of the Bands in High School. It was really my band and one other that had a chance to win.
We had better musicians. They had a better singer. That worried me because I knew that most people would discount my virtuoso lead guitar if the other band had a better singer.
So we ... stuffed the shit outta the ballot boxes. Yes, we cheated our asses off.
We lost. The other band cheated even more than we did. We'll never know who legitimately won.

Interfering with an election laws should be severe and enforced.
FedGov can't tell states how to run their elections but interference with any election should be a federal (I think it is) offense.

Some right leaning news outfit (Newsmax IIRC) just agreed to settle with Dominion over their hacked machines. This... after it was disclosed by the DNI that Dominion voting machines were, in fact, unsecure for the 2020 election.
The settlement was significant.
Time to claw back the money from Dominion.

Reading an AP article on Trump's EO ending mail ballots.
You cannot over-exaggerate how biased and dishonest they are.
it's not just the excessive use of negative language toward Trump, it's the deliberate hyper-technical limited "facts" they use.
But, my favorite was claiming they did an extensive review of 2020 and found less than 500 cases of vote fraud.
In an election where nearly 150 million ballots were cast, only 500 were not valid? 0.00033%
That's literally impossible; that number is so small.
I don't even think the finest mill could cut a driveshaft that perfectly round.
But, of course, they don't tell the reader how the reached that number.
You can be assured, it's a very narrow definition. I'll bet $10 it's actual convictions and sentencing for vote fraud.
Nothing about the illegal changes to election laws; nothing about the illegal counting; nothing about the 15 million phantom ballots for the D that disappeared b/w 2020 and 2024

I've scanned both the VRA of 1965 and the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
The HAVA includes a lot of language about transparent, from the outside, ballot tracking, including assurances to the voters that they've been counted. It also includes some references to mail in voting, as long as it is in compliance with the VRA of 1965.
The VRA doesn't include mail in voting requirements (it mentions mail twice, both regarding challenge procedures).
The way I read things, Trump's EO attacking mail in voting could have legal merit, possibly. Especially if the focus is on the opacity of the processes around counting and collection.

While I agree that in-person voting should be required, they'll find another way to cheat. Insufficient ballots, wrong ballots, wrong pens for the ballots, and on, and on, and on...
====
The problem is, once you drop a ballot in a box, it's basically impossible to get that ballot removed.
It's also much harder to do in person voting fraud. Way back when, they would bus people around. It would be almost impossible in today's age to get away with that with social media.
It's also a very low risk crime to simply drop a ballot in an unmonitored box.
If though you attempt to actually vote in person, you're much more vulnerable to getting caught.

We also need to be precise, and define our terms.
“Mail In Voting” isn’t really correct. They have dispensed with the mail, in favor of unsecured “drop boxes” installed in myriad locations that have nothing to do with USPS.
The judges allowing for all this fraud is not a prescription for confidence going forward. I’ve no doubt some of them are in fear for their lives, and don’t want mobs of unhinged leftists showing up at their homes.
But, politics ain’t beanbag. Women, children, and revenuers get outta the way, as the saying goes.

If someone wanted to run with this GP story, it might be interesting.
Federal officials, in public and in federal courtrooms, are lying about the existence of video footage from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue believes his brother was interrogated and tortured to death in August 1995 because federal authorities mistakenly thought he was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing.
Even though multiple eyewitnesses noticed two men exiting the Ryder truck transporting the bomb to the Alfred P. Murrah building that day, the narrative from federal officials is firm that McVeigh acted alone while in Oklahoma City.
-------
Personal note: I lived in Oklahoma City at the time of the bombing and can CONFIRM that the local networks ran "Wanted" style postings for TWO men in the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and that the 2nd man appeared to be dark skinned (as in hispanic, native American, etc). Yet the narrative quickly changed to "McVey acted alone".

Yes, the legal, judicial left is obviously stupid enough to go down this path to pwn Trump.
The only short term path right now, though, is gutting parts of the VRA (the majority minority districts), not the whole edifice of federal oversight of federal elections. Anything beyond that will take probably years more, though a SCOTUS opinion saying, "the VRA, NVRA, and HAVA are all unconstitutional," would be amusing.
Still, the most important parts are the requirements around voter rolls, especially their maintenance as laid out in HAVA. DOJ is focusing on it under Harmeet Dhillon.

"Oh, boy...this is gonna be great."
-the deep red south
Yes, the legal, judicial left is obviously stupid enough to go down this path to pwn Trump.
The only short term path right now, though, is gutting parts of the VRA (the majority minority districts), not the whole edifice of federal oversight of federal elections. Anything beyond that will take probably years more, though a SCOTUS opinion saying, "the VRA, NVRA, and HAVA are all unconstitutional," would be amusing.
Still, the most important parts are the requirements around voter rolls, especially their maintenance as laid out in HAVA. DOJ is focusing on it under Harmeet Dhillon.

The argument will come down to the assertion that elections are for the states to run. They have a point, but there are other considerations, especially for national elections.
Posted by: Archimedes at August 19, 2025 12:30 PM (Riz8t)
The Constitution permits Congress to place limits on the ability of states to run their own elections. Congress has done so, a number of times. No doubt Trump's EO is making use of one of the times that Congress has limited states abilities to control things.
However, there is also no doubt that the argument that Democrats will make is that elections are for the states to run and judges in the cheat states will slap injunctions on it. Need more than one judge, of course, because they couldn't help themselves and SCOTUS finally slapped them down - a bit.

The portion in Virginia will never be built as long as northern Virginia needs highway money, which means it will never be built.

You could theoretically pass a law that the US Post Office isn't allowed to collect ballots.
I'm not even sure you would need a real law if the PO is controlled by the Executive Branch.
I mean, do you need a federal law passed by Congress to say they can't pick up a 10 lb package from your mailbox? There's all sorts of rules they have on what they can do.

the Rs and feds need to have lawyers watching all the locations, and stopping shenanigans like these.
And the way that they stop it is to tell the very long line of people waiting to vote to remain in line for the several hours necessary to find some ballots. Don't leave the line, not even to use the bathroom. It's super vital.
Or... we could have early voting and that resolves all of this since they cannot fuck over a single precinct for multiple days. Then you just need people in place to ensure that votes counted are votes case and nothing gets manipulated. Of course, judges will just bar Republicans from watching but, as I've said, the Democrats will cheat.

Yeah right, Donnie! DISENFRANCHISE shut in Seniors, the Disabled, those not able to stand in line at their designated polling place for hours on end. This is a SCAM to actually make voting HARDER.
Now that they have the Tripp Lite and Starlink vote shaving system in place, they don't want real proof of voters ballots.
Please tell me you understand there is very little chance we will be allowed to vote in the next election, or have the vote counted. The National Guard and military will be sent to every blue city to control it.
"BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS." Sure thing Donnie. Let's start with the most obvious - convicted felons are ineligible for any public office in the land.

It's not "mail in voting" itself that's the problem. I don't like mail-in voting as a general matter, but a mail-in system can be made secure if you want. The problem is the utterly insane lack of any safeguards whatsoever with mail-in votes. You could drop a role of toilet paper in a box three days after the election, with "I vote for da Democrap dood" scribbled in excrement, and it would get counted in a blue county.

A one way cipher would be pretty interesting, actually. You could have your ballot that is yours and yours alone, and the cipher could be attached to your district before encoding but not to you specifically afterwards. Then you could drop your ballot literally anywhere and have it counted in the district you're allowed to vote in. Out of town? In a hospital? Overseas? No problem!

The last election I voted in, in WA state, we were running late and had to use the drop box at the transit center. Ten minutes before polls closed, there was a woman taking out the ballots. I don't know if she was authorized to do that, as there didn't seem to be any official ID on her.

So, you are saying in person voting: good, but one day voting: bad?
I can sort of agree to that, but think there should be a cut off. An election day past which no more. Also the other way. Like maybe a week or a month before election day.

But considering the day in Election Day is very specific, isn't that also a valid point?
Where does this end? Can we vote a year before an election?
Voting in person on election day is basically how every other country that has a democracy has operated.
It's only really been the last 10 or so years where this idea really took off. You used to have to have a really valid excuse to be an absentee voter.

Doing all that across several days of voting - assuming you secure the ballots - accomplishes the same thing. Failing to secure the ballots causes it all to fail - even with election day only voting.

They also seem to be realizing that Trump fucked them up the pooper with a crossbow-firing flaming rocket dick of enormous size, and they're ain't nothing they can do about it. So they're just passing around hits of copeium laced with some hopeium.

These are relative numbers. In absolute numbers, they crashed:
"One of the most noticeable trends this year was the sharp decline in mail-in voting, particularly in states that enacted significant barriers to absentee ballots..
Similarly, Florida – a state known for its high rate of mail voting – saw a drop in absentee ballots after the passage of S.B. 90, which introduced stricter ID requirements and reduced the number of drop-off locations. In 2020, Florida had over 4.8 million mail ballots (44% of total ballots). In 2024, that number fell to just over 3 million (28%)."

Active duty military allowed to vote on base (or if deployed by mail). Not counting those ballots is 10/years in prison per ballot for the SoS of that state. To vote by mail you must submit a request at least 6 months in advance and you must prove you can't stand in a line to vote.
All voter registrations are burned every 4 years.

That would be a big improvement on what we have now, but why support early voting?
I legit think the Constitution in pretty clear Election Day is supposed to be only held on a single day, but if you want to be crass about it, the Dem machine is better at finding voters and taking them to the polls over a long time period (think illegal aliens, felons, homeless, bogus people) etc than Republcans are.
And what about blue districts that allow the early in person voting? Think they are "by the book"?
It's simply much harder to steal an election when you have a small window to perpetrate a fraud.

The other infuriating lie the media spreads is conflating and deliberately confusing regular absentee ballots with the "olly-olly-oxen free" mail-in ballots of 2020.
Where several states removed all safeguards, all verification mandated by law and mailed out ballots to every registered voter and accepted any and all ballots returned
So, they only discuss regular, normal absentee ballots and demand the reader not look at how none of those procedures and safeguards applied to 2020 or 2022.
But, real world: At least 15 million of those mail-in ballots returned in 2020 were fraudulent. That's indisputable.
Unless you're claiming Democrat voters are racist and sexist, willing to vote for an old, white man but not a black woman?

We could, possibly, have single day voting if we voted the way the Euros do. You get to choose what party you're voting for and that's it. You're betters will decide everything for you.

This is just going to move the cheating to a higher level. I've been warning about this as I see states (some of them bellwethers) start removing security protocol from their laws. Michigan and Arizona specifically have started to do this. Arizona precincts can't do their own recounts any more or risk arrest. Michigan increased the threshold on recounts. They're moving towards having fewer and fewer officials having access to the vote counts from across the state.
All you need is a corrupt SofS and AG in the state, and they can eventually make up vote counts and certify them without intervention as legit. No more pesky ballot stuffing required. If you think this is not possible, think about Colorado's SofS removing Trump from the ballot without cause. Same with Maine. There are people in high govt positions willing to do this if they can set up the structure and get away with it.

Posted by: AltonJackson at August 19, 2025 12:42 PM (tljrc)
I just voted yesterday in a by-election to elect Pierre Poilievre as MP for my riding (he won with 80% of the votes cast). Paper ballot, from a pad that was serialized. After marking my ballot, handed the folded ballot to the poll worker, who tore off the serialized strip, and handed back the now-anonymous ballot to me to drop into the box. Incidentally, the Commie-fag-proggie axis ran hundreds of nobodies as independent candidates, same tactic as they did against Pierre in the general election. But they were foiled here. Ballot was a blank piece of paper onto which we had to print the name of our preferred candidate: first name, last name (and party affiliation, should there be duplicate or similar names). Most of the bogus candidates got zero or 1 vote.

An extension of I-74 that will run from Davenport, Iowa to Cincinnati and then down to Myrtle Beach is planned to happen but it’s nowhere near being completed as each state has to go through the process of design & alignment.
Most are just building needed projects in local areas and trying to align that in some way to make it the interstate eventually.
It will be a decade or more, if ever, that the road will be complete.

What is hard to understand about the mail in ballot numbers as an absolute dropping precipitously from 2020 to 2024, undermining your assertion that mail in balloting is super popular?
Yes, Republicans did it more in relative terms in 2024 than in 2020.
Yes, the practice also saw massive drops in use in that same time period.
If its so popular, why did so many people stop doing it?

So, you are saying in person voting: good, but one day voting: bad?
That's what I'm saying.
I can sort of agree to that, but think there should be a cut off. An election day past which no more. Also the other way. Like maybe a week or a month before election day.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at August 19, 2025 12:48 PM (bss/y)
Voting has an end time. It must be inviolate. If your voting ends at 8pm then it ends at 8pm. I also have no objection to limiting the early voting period to the week before the election.
In a perfect world, assuming some omnipotent outside agency to run voting with an untamperable machine, I would have voting run for at least two weeks, preferably a month, with the whole country starting voting and ending voting at the exact same time. Ten minutes of grace for anyone who had started voting at the cutoff. No extensions... you had a month. Results posted everywhere after 15 minutes.
Sadly, that doesn't exist.

How do you define "popular"?
Over 99 million votes were mail in 2024. Nearly 1 in 3.
That's not "popular" in your world?
It went down over Covid laws changing, but it's still a way a lot of people prefer to vote.
I'm all for ignoring this popularity anyway, but I'm not ignoring a lot of people seem to prefer it.

Replace Juneteenth with a Federal Holiday for Election Day.
In person. With ID and on Election Day.
That's how you get to Vote.
---
That's where I'm at:
One day, in-person voting.
No early voting.
Absentee only for physical infirmity or military assignment out-of-district. No over-seas civilian option.
I'll even admit same-day registration and the only proof required that you're an adult citizen resident of the precinct.
Because, the fraud doesn't happen from in-person voting. Not enough to matter.
The real juice is absentee ballots, watered down to allow any and all to receive one; the mail-in.
That's how they collect and harvest thousands to millions of ballots.

You know, getting access to your credit card balance often requires more security than voting. Login name, some sort of validation, maybe 2-factor authentication and whatever other bullshit the bank demands.
Getting access to a ballot should be the same, or more difficult.
People go through agonizing hoops and hurdles to buy shit online, access money or pR0n, by guns or booze, medications and a whole host of other things.
Voting should be as hard, if not harder with respect to keeping ballots out of the hands of people who shouldn't have one.

Voting in person on election day is basically how every other country that has a democracy has operated.
Most other countries only answer one question. Which party for Parliament. I've had ballots with over 50. If people show up who haven't already decided how they're gonna vote on an issue, they tie up voting stations. Or maybe they tie them up to prevent large numbers of people from voting in that district.

Voting should be a single day affair, and if your state mandates that voting ends at 8 it should end at 8 except for those IN PERSON IN A POLLING STATION waiting their turn.
Voting should be in person UNLESS you a federal employee or military member officially stationed abroad.
I don't care how "difficult" this process might be--I saw first hand how *dangerous* it was in 2020 to stray from these simple safeguards.

lol. Mail-in ballots are…popular. That’s fallacy posing as argument. Is that the best you can do?
Mail-in ballots are a massive fraud vector. That’s why almost no OECD or modernized nation uses them. There is study after study proving it. Where they are used they are highly regulated. There is also no “harvesting” allowed.
Republican use went up because we encouraged it as a party after we kept getting our asses kicked in states where Democrats were blatantly abusing the system. Places like NY and California have almost zero safeguards against mail in fraud. They actually have written into election law you can’t make sure the voter is a legal resident. Pray tell, why would you do that? Rhetorically, it’s because their entire state election system operates on fraud. Period.

That's how they collect and harvest thousands to millions of ballots.
____
I'm curious about the harvesting. I assume it's union workers going door to door after election day to people who hadn't mailed their ballots in. Then they get lied to or pressured to hand over the blank ballot which gets filled out by the union workers and then transported to election central to get counted as mailed late or 'found' ballots. The effort ceases as soon as enough ballots are harvested for the union's preferred candidate.

253 How do you define "popular"?
Over 99 million votes were mail in 2024. Nearly 1 in 3.
That's not "popular" in your world?
It went down over Covid laws changing, but it's still a way a lot of people prefer to vote.
I'm all for ignoring this popularity anyway, but I'm not ignoring a lot of people seem to prefer it.
Posted by: Leupold at August 19, 2025 01:09 PM (4pwAx)
=======
It was 88 million total early votes, only half of which were mail in.
Out of that 43 million, almost half came from the three states that require it: CA, WA, and CO. And a bunch of states that don't have any early in person voting like Maine.
If we're to assume that those three states would have similar results at other states, that would end up dropping the total mail in votes to about 30 million.
Roughly 10% of the whole population and about 20% of the electorate of 150 million.
Mail in voting is mostly just popular with Democrats. As I said in comment 125.

Voting has an end time. It must be inviolate. If your voting ends at 8pm then it ends at 8pm. I also have no objection to limiting the early voting period to the week before the election.
In a perfect world, assuming some omnipotent outside agency to run voting with an untamperable machine, I would have voting run for at least two weeks, preferably a month, with the whole country starting voting and ending voting at the exact same time. Ten minutes of grace for anyone who had started voting at the cutoff. No extensions... you had a month. Results posted everywhere after 15 minutes.
Sadly, that doesn't exist.

We've discussed this before, and I know we disagree, but I think the problem is that a guy in his 50s is talking about 25 year olds. That sends a message as to what the guy is looking for, intended or not.
Some guys bust their asses in their 20s/30s but still want a large family. You aren't getting that if you marry a woman your own age.
And many, if not most, women would prefer a successful older guy over an unsuccessful one their own age.
As long as she's an adult and agrees to the deal it shouldn't be anyone else's business.

I know in the US some of the remote places in states like Alaska abuse the shit out of the process.

And your "hot take" is it's "mostly just popular with Democrats!" and any other perspective must be wrong and argued with.
And heres the US Postal service saying 99+ million mail in ballots, so someone's wrong here on their numbers.

Their imam last week told the mosque attendees to use the US Flag as a DOORMAT!!!!!! He should appoint anti-jihadists to all the ambassador posts in islamic countries. These countries never appoint their ambassadors to the US to be the lone Christian inhabitant...and now we get even more Qatari dawa propaganda in our colleges.

>> It's just a dumb thing to argue. I'm not sure why you seem to have some sort of personal problem with me, but all I said was Republican mail in voting went up in 2024 (which it did), overall main in voting went down (which it did) but it's still popular way to vote (which it is)
Perhaps because he understands basic logic and you keep conflating an increase in that type of voting with it being popular. Correlation does not equal causation.
Irrespective, I don’t care if it’s popular. There are reams of studies and examples showing it’s a fraud vector. No voting system with any integrity allows it in the manner Democrat states allow it. Period. There’s a reason for that.

Advance polls are for those who might be travelling on Election Day, or otherwise unable to reach a polling place. In the bigger cities, they have polling places set up, often in schools and other public buildings, and in each neighborhood. Might be several hundred such in a big city. Where I live, near a town of 1200 people, the poll was in the community hall. I had to drive a whole 3 miles, and waited exactly zero minutes to get a ballot.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Vote dilution by illegal acts by a jurisidiction (and that would include organized cheating) affecting results by race has been held to be a Voting Rights Act violation and the Congress has the power to enact such a law. It has always been applied to minorities mostly but that is actually not the wording of the VRA nor the 15th Amendment.

Washington state has not elected a single statewide Republican since it went 100% mail in ballot in the 2000s.
Prior to that Republicans did win statewide. There was a Republican senator elected in 1988 and re elected in 1994. The state was Dem but not 100% Dem like it is now.
Just a coincidence I’m sure.

Advanced voting was not common in most states before the 1980's (partially due to the costs and personnel needed) and absentee ballots almost always required a written excuse why the elector would not be present.
And Congress itself has the power to restrict absentee and early voting for federal offices as seen above in Article I.
"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the CONGRESS may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations. . . ."
The idea that everyone has always just schlepped on down to the polling location on election day cuz that's how people remember it is just not correct.

Advanced voting was not common in most states before the 1980's (partially due to the costs and personnel needed) and absentee ballots almost always required a written excuse why the elector would not be present.

A 50 year old man with a 25 year old woman might well be outstanding… for a time. The guy gets a young hottie; the woman gets an established guy with good income and security…
However… fast forward oh I don’t know… 15-20 years. Now the guy is 65 or 70 and definitely slowing down while the woman is 40 or 45 in the prime of life…. I can see certain dissatisfaction arising. But hey if it works for them they’re adults then great

It should be noted that the Hamtramck City Council only has 6 seats. The one Councilman not implicated in ballot stuffing during 2023 is Khalil Refai, the Mayor Pro Tem. He was absent during most of 2023, when these events occurred. Refai said the reason for his absence was because of “family obligations due to medical issues unfortunately, but everything is well now thanks God.”
However, during the first meeting after he returned, Refai referred to his absence as a “great vacation.”
