WE FINALLY HAVE THE EVIDENCE! After Examining Over 155,000 Absentee Envelopes…We’ve Discovered Over 26,000 Absentee Ballots Were Unlawfully Counted In Detroit’s 2020 Election
This is the most important investigative piece I have ever worked on in my 15 years of reporting.
Before I report our findings, I want to thank Yehuda Miller of New Jersey for never giving up on the belief that Detroit’s election was stolen in November 2020.
I also want to thank the brilliant (an understatement) Phani Mantravadi for his tireless contribution to this project. In addition to his patience and guidance on all the technical aspects, he also uploaded and sorted almost a million documents on his Check My Vote website, so that over 100 well-trained volunteers could painstakingly enter the data from each and every envelope into a data field that would create a permanent record of each envelope and tie it to a registered voter. The actual envelope image would then be placed side by side with the voter’s registration and vote history from Detroit’s November and December 2020 Qualified Voter Files.
What We Discovered
Our work on the Detroit absentee envelope review began in December 2025 and was finally completed on July 9, 2026.
After entering the data for each envelope, each name and address on the envelope was paired with the registered voter in either the November or December 2020 Qualified Voter Files (QVF). Each envelope was then reviewed 2-4 times for accuracy. Once the envelope image was paired with the registered voter in the QVF, it would appear under their matching voter registration and voter history on the Check My Vote website.
When we first received the envelopes, they were a mess. They were out of order, upside down, and sideways. Phani Mantravadi sorted and organized every envelope to make it easy for the researchers to review them in order of AVCB. Although the City of Detroit published its official report stating that it counted 174,384 absentee ballots toward Detroit’s final total of 250,219, Yehuda Miller was given only 155,487 absentee envelopes as part of his FOIA fulfillment agreement.
At the outset of our investigation, we knew there was a shocking deficit of absentee ballots compared to the required absentee envelopes, but after checking, double- and then triple-checking the data on each envelope and comparing them to the registered voters on file, we were able to prove (using evidence provided by the City of Detroit) that an incredible 26,901 absentee ballots lacked the legally required accompanying absentee ballot envelope.
