Michigan State Police are investigating the discovery of nearly 300 absentee ballots from the 2020 election in a storage unit in Thetford, Michigan.

The ballots were found by Rachel Stanke, the Thetford Township Supervisor, who alerted the police in 2021 over concerns that the votes were being stored improperly. Stanke filed a Freedom of Information Act request to the Michigan State Police after hearing no further information about the investigation.

The request revealed that the ballots were discovered in a storage unit rented by a former township employee, whose name has been redacted. The police are still investigating how the votes ended in the storage unit.

The discovery of the absentee ballots has raised concerns about the integrity of the 2020 election in Michigan. Stanke expressed concern, stating, "289 absentee ballots were found in a storage unit and downtown Clio.” She first learned about the possibility of the ballots being stored in a box in 2021 and alerted the Michigan Attorney General’s Office and the Secretary of State’s Office. However, she later discovered that she needed to contact the Michigan State Police.
