A mysterious group appears to be sending absentee ballot applications across Michigan, some of which claim authorization from Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
“All Michigan voters can securely vote from home by using the enclosed application to request a vote-by-mail ballot,” reads a mailer that says it was “paid for” by a group called The Voter Project Michigan. “Return the enclosed vote-by-mail ballot application today.”
The mailer, addressed to the mother of Michigan Republican State Rep. Brad Paquette, is marked with what appears to be Gov. Whitmer’s signature. Paquette told The Federalist the mailer arrived at his mother’s old address and was addressed to her maiden name — with which she registered to vote in 1979. Paquette said his mother’s registration with this name is now inactive.
“This letter clearly says ‘Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer,’” Paquette said. “How is she soliciting inactive voters from the 1970s?”
The mailer appears to come from Whitmer’s office — with the envelope reading “important election information from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.” The mailer also bears an official-looking heading that reads, “Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.”
“From voting rights to the cost of living to the freedom to make your own reproductive healthcare decisions, you and your neighbors will determine the direction for our community and our state,” the letter reads.
My mom hasn’t lived at my grandma’s house since she was 19 years old, 45 years ago.
She also has been a Paquette for the last 43 years.
