A fun little story popped over the weekend involving a Democrat named Abu Musa, who serves on the city council of Hamtramck, Michigan, and it’s getting international coverage. You can just file this one under “Dems doing Dem things.”
In the video, it appears that Musa and an acquaintance stuff handfuls of paper ballots into a drop-off box just a few days before a primary election Musa, an incumbent, won handily. Musa is seated in the front passenger seat of the car and can be seen passing large stacks of ballots to the driver, who dutifully stuffs them into the drop box. Under the cover of night, of course.
Watch:
Here’s the kicker: Musa beat out 11 other candidates by garnering 1,129 votes, but only 286 of those votes were cast on Election Day (August 5th). Meaning, 842 votes were cast by absentee ballot. Not impossible, but definitely suspicious.
The video came to light after Michigan State Police launched an investigation into allegations of rampant fraud being perpetrated by Hamtramck’s top officials, including Musa and several of his fellow councilmen. Councilmen Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan were arraigned last week on charges they forged signatures on absentee ballots during the 2023 election. According to one report, “a city clerk noted absentee ballots were being dropped off in large bundles and filled out with suspiciously similar handwriting.”
But, wait, there’s more. Earlier this year, Hamtramck City Manager Max Garbarino was placed on leave after he suspended the city’s police chief, Jamiel Altaheri, over allegations he violated department policy.

Getting back to Mr. Musa and his now-viral video, he also is under investigation for possible election-related misdeeds, but it’s not related to the video of him stuffing the ballot box. Instead, Musa is facing allegations that he doesn’t actually live in Hamtramck, which is a requirement for serving on the city council. And while the video raises serious questions about his actions and the validity of his recent win, it doesn’t appear that he’s currently facing legal scrutiny for that.
So, the question is: how many ballots can you stuff before finding yourself in hot water? Oakland County (Michigan) Clerk Lisa Brown has the answer: “You can (return more than one ballot), but there’s a big caveat as to who, whose ballot you can return.” According to Brown, there’s not a strict limit to the number of absentee ballots that one person can bring to a ballot box, but those ballots must belong to a close relative or member of your household. She added, “If it’s an immediate family member or you co-inhabit with somebody — it doesn’t have to be in a romantic way — but if you co-inhabit with someone, you can return their absentee ballots.”
Judging by the large number of ballots Musa and his accomplice were caught on camera stuffing, they must have enormous families. Or, they were caught redhanded committing election fraud. Take your pick.
This isn’t the first time Hamtramck City Council has made the news. Back in 2021, they grabbed headlines for being the first all-Muslim city council in the United States.
