US Presidential Polls: Dead People Allegedly Found To Have Cast Votes Via Absentee Ballot In Michigan
Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Amid allegations of electoral malpractice with regards to absentee mail-in voting in the 2020 US Presidential Polls, a prominent Trump supporter shared voting records which allegedly show dead people having cast their votes in Michigan.
The twitter user Essential Fleecas shared the case of a voter named William Bradley born in 1902 - who appears to have voted via an absentee ballot in the city of Detroit.
If one enters the said data in the Michigan voter information website, one is redirected to a page which shows that Bradley is successfully registered to vote in the state general election and had sent his ballot on 19 September which was duly received on 2 October.
Fleecas then proceeded to share an online death record which appears to show a William Bradley with the same pin code having died in 1984. It should be noted that if alive Bradley would be 118 years old but media reports from the US suggest that the oldest living American is a certain Hester Ford who is 116 years old.
Fleecas proceeded to share similar details of other voters. In one instance a voter named June Aiken born in 1900 (Aged 120 years) appears to have allegedly voted via an absentee ballot in Jackson County, Michigan.
The twitter user similarly showed the case of another voter named Donna Brydges - born 1901 (aged 119 years) who has allegedly cast her vote via an absentee ballot in Mason County, Michigan.
It isn't clear whether the aforementioned voting data is a result of a bug on the website or whether it is potentially indicative of electoral fraud - as is being alleged by Trump supporters.
Incidentally, a few days ago a similar instance of alleged dead people voting in the US was reported by The New York Post. The report had claimed that ballots were mailed in the name of dead voters to the New York City Board of Elections.
US President Donald Trump was leading in the state of Michigan before losing his lead to Joe Biden during late night counting. It has been claimed that counting of mail-in absentee ballots was the reason for Biden's surge.
