Video obtained by Local 4 shows what appears to be a current Hamtramck councilmember dropping off stacks of absentee ballots at a city drop box days before the August primary election.

Michigan State Police confirmed the video is part of an ongoing investigation into the residency of two city council members.

The video captures two men in a black vehicle approaching the city’s official ballot drop box.

The passenger, identified by sources as current City Council Member Abu Musa, hands several large bundles of what appear to be absentee ballots to the driver, who then deposits them into the box.

This development comes as Musa, who received more than 1,129 votes in last week’s primary election, seeks reelection to the council.

Musa is also under investigation for not living in Hamtramck. He has denied the allegations.

The surveillance footage emerges one day after two other Hamtramck council members were arraigned on election fraud charges stemming from a 2023 investigation.

That case began when the city clerk noticed unusual patterns with absentee ballots, including large bundles being submitted at the same time with similar handwriting.

While Musa was named in the 2023 election fraud investigation, he was not charged in that case.

Michigan State Police confirmed to Local 4 News that the newly surfaced video is part of their ongoing investigation into council members’ residency requirements.

A department spokesperson stated they expect to conclude the investigation “in a few weeks.”
