Video Shows Michigan Secretary of State Official Telling Volunteers to Ignore Ballots with Identical Signatures During Recount

Headlines Politics U.S.

A video shows a Michigan Secretary of State official telling volunteers to ignore ballots that appear to have identical signatures.

“We need to do the counts because if we don’t have the counts, then we can’t move forward. And we understand that there is a concern with this precinct—but this is not a time for you to be investigating right now,” the official can be heard telling the volunteers.

“So when we’re done with the audit, there’s still the opportunity to challenge the fact that we have multiple ballots with the very same signature?” the volunteer asks in response.

“I don’t know if ‘challenge’ is the right word,” the official says.

“But we’re challenging—” the volunteer replies.

The exchange took place during a recount of ballots in Antrim County, MI. A recent forensic audit of Dominion voting machines in the county revealed evidence of systemic vote manipulation.
