Newly obtained printed absentee ballot instructions for election workers in Detroit confirm that oral instructions described by a city election worker in a post-election sworn affidavit would have been egregious violations of city election rules.
The instructions, obtained by Just the News through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, were crystal clear concerning signature matching and ballot dating: Verification of signatures on absentee ballots was mandatory, and ballots were to be stamped with the date on which they are received.
According to Detroit’s absentee ballot instructions, signatures on the ballots were to be checked to see if they matched those on file. If a signature did not match, a letter would be sent to the voter “informing them that their returned ballot was rejected because the signature did not match our records.”
If there was no signature on the absentee ballot envelope, the instructions mandated this resolution: “A letter will be sent to the voter stating the ballot return envelope was unsigned. They will have the option to come into the office to sign their original ballot return envelope or they may sign the ballot return envelope (empty) sent with the letter and mail it.”
According to the printed instructions provided to Detroit election workers, absentee ballots were to be date-stamped upon receipt with the day’s date. Jacob, however, said in her affidavit that she was instructed by a supervisor to backdate absentee ballots arriving after Election Day as if they had arrived before.
Attorney Mark Foster, who has represented Jacob during this process, told Just the News that she lost her job as a result of filing her affidavit and that she had no incentive to lie, given that she was under penalty of perjury. He added that there were others who swore in their own affidavits that they were given the same improper instructions Jacob received.
The Detroit Department of Elections did not respond to requests for comment on Saturday.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
