FACT CHECK: Hundreds of Pro-Trump Ballots Have Been Recovered in Rural Michigan City

• https://bigleaguepolitics.com, By Shane Trejo

A recent tweet by independent journalist Jordan Epperson has gone viral after being retweeted by Donald Trump Jr. In his tweet, Epperson indicates that it is not just urban communities in Michigan that are problematic in the state with regards to electoral integrity, but also rural areas as well.

Big League Politics did research to prove whether or not Epperson's claim is legitimate. We quickly discovered that Epperson's tweet is backed up by the facts.

Michigan state representative Shane Hernandez initially discovered that a precinct in the small town of Marysville had a voter turnout that was roughly 35 percent lower than neighboring precincts.

St. Clair County Clerk Jay DeBoyer performed an investigation as a result of Hernandez's findings, and he discovered that the absentee ballots in the precinct were not counted because of a mistake that was made in the clerk's office. After the mistake was corrected, Trump gained an additional 500 votes.

This is far from the only instance of a voter irregularity that has occurred in the conservative rural areas throughout Michigan. There have also been abnormalities reported in Antrim County, a county in the ultra-conservative northern part of the state. Antrim initially went for Biden by a 2-to-1 margin, but those results are now being reviewed and are expected to be corrected.
