After years of being gaslighted by some of the most dishonest people in government and the media, The Gateway Pundit, along with some of the most respected election investigators in the state, are looking forward to blowing the lid off the lies about Detroit’s “secure” 2020 election that helped to give Joe Biden with an inexplicable victory in the must-win state of Michigan.
On Election Night 2020, President Donald J. Trump appeared to hold commanding leads in key battleground states — approximately 100,000 votes in Wisconsin, 300,000 in Michigan, and 700,000 in Pennsylvania. For Joe Biden to erase those margins, his performance in the outstanding vote would have needed to be dramatically stronger, particularly in heavily Democratic strongholds such as Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
As the night wore on, reports emerged — often inconsistent — that some precincts had stopped counting, sent workers home, or restarted tabulations under unclear circumstances. To this day, there is confusion and disagreement over the extent of these pauses and whether any state laws or procedures were ignored in the process. What cannot be disputed is that vote totals from Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania continued to change throughout the night, long after many Americans had gone to bed.
By the early morning hours of November 4, Wisconsin had flipped blue; next to flip was the must-win state of Michigan. Days later, Georgia and Pennsylvania flipped for Biden as well. For many observers, the stunning vote turnarounds — combined with conflicting reports of election-night disruptions — fueled deep skepticism about the process’s integrity and transparency.
Judges in Michigan dismissed cases without allowing testimony from eyewitnesses or election-integrity experts or even reviewing a shred of credible evidence. The media mocked anyone who tried to prove election fraud or malfeasance. Cowardly Republican members of the Michigan Senate, like Ed McBroom and Lana Theis, joined Democrats who added their seal of approval to a so-called report stating that there was no evidence of mass fraud in Michigan’s 2020 election.
In Detroit, affidavits signed by dozens of poll challengers claiming they witnessed fraud were ignored by lawmakers and law enforcement, including the state’s top law enforcement officer, Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel, who mocked and threatened anyone, including members of the media, who dared to challenge the election results.
The City of Detroit election results were certified under duress by two Republicans on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, who received multiple threats over their initial refusal to certify the results. Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chair Monica Palmer received a photo of a dead teenage girl, along with a death threat against her adolescent daughter, over her initial refusal to certify the election results.
Woman Who Sent Photo of Young Girl’s Mutilated Body To 2020 GOP Election Official and Threatened The Life of Her 14-Yr-Old Daughter, FINALLY Receives Sentence—And It’s SHOCKING!
Monica Palmer agreed to certify the results only if she was assured that a full forensic audit would be conducted. Her terms were agreed to by the other Democrat canvas board members. After she and her fellow Republican board of canvassers member agreed to certify the election, Michigan’s dirty Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson informed them that no such audit would be performed.
An astouding 70% of Detroit’s absentee counting boards were out of balance in the 2020 election. According to Michigan’s strict rules on recount eligibility (MCL 168.871 and related sections in Chapter XXXIII), precincts certified as “out of balance” without explanation are ineligible for recount—meaning ballots couldn’t be re-tabulated in a formal recount process. Election workers, who were repeatedly accused by poll challengers of working with Democrats to steal and cover up the steal at the TCF Center where absentee ballots were processed in 2020, whisked away all ballots and tabulator tapes, where, along with absentee ballot applications and envelopes, were stored until which time, according to state and federal law (22 months), they could be destroyed.
Independent investigator Yehuda Miller of New Jersey put a large kink in any plans Detroit election officials had to destroy election documents from the 2020 election when he successfully sued the City of Detroit and Wayne County after they denied his FOIA request for all election-related documents.
In September, Miller drove from New Jersey to Detroit in a U-Haul, loaded almost 1 million election documents from the 2020 election, and transported them to a secure location.
In addition to the physical documents, Miller also obtained digital files from the highly controversial election that Michigan’s top election integrity experts and a few friends from out of state have been poring over for the past 3.5 months. We are now prepared to offer our first in a series of findings.
Our first report from our investigation into Detroit’s 2020 general election has uncovered a startling discovery: Over 10,000 “ghost voter” ballots exhibiting a peculiar marking anomaly where voters filled in ovals for write-in candidates but left the accompanying name spaces entirely blank, effectively creating invalid votes that required manual review yet contributed to no specific candidate.
This revelation comes amid the already chaotic backdrop of the former TCF Center (now Huntington Place), where Detroit centralized its absentee ballot processing during the unprecedented COVID-fueled surge in mail-in voting.

One of the most underreported facts about the 2020 election in Detroit was its stunningly high adjudication rate—roughly 33%, or about 40,000 ballots. Ballot adjudication occurred when ballots were flagged for human intervention due to issues such as overvotes, undervotes, stray marks, and write-ins. Yet, even in this high-volume, atypical election with over 200,000 total ballots processed citywide, such a specific error pattern at a 6% rate remains highly improbable, if not impossible, and remains undocumented in official audits or reports from the Michigan Bureau of Elections.
It’s important to note that these “ghost votes” occurred on both absentee and election-day ballots. This comparison was prepared by Phillip Davis, a member of our 2020 Detroit election results review team. The numbers shown below total over 11,000 write-in votes; only a small number of these ballots included a name next to the filled-in oval for “write-in” candidates.
These “anonomlies” results occurred only in down-ballot races, and almost all of them occurred where voters filled in the ovals on the upper portion of the ballot for a straight-ticket Democrat or for a Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, and/or a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Gary Peters.

HEY, @JocelynBenson, DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED AND WHY NO ONE WAS TOLD ABOUT IT during or after your “perfectly secure” election?

Here is one example of the front of a ballot:
Here is an example of the back page of the ballot:
Write-in attempts were rare overall (typically under 1% in Michigan races that year), and blank-name ovals with no name attached, minuscule subset usually tied to isolated voter mistakes, were never flagged as occurring at this scale, with no evidence of widespread ballot design flaws, procedural lapses, or voter confusion to explain why more than 10,000 individuals would independently commit the exact same incomplete action. This deviation from norms across the state demands further scrutiny by the DOJ to verify or uncover potential underlying causes (mass voter fraud?) for this impossible occurrence to happen in Detroit’s 2020 electoral process.
In Michigan’s 2020 election process (including at Detroit’s TCF Center), if a ballot had a write-in issue—such as a filled oval with no name—isolated to a down-ballot race (e.g., local offices or judges), the up-ballot votes (e.g., presidential, U.S. Senate, or congressional) would still be counted as marked. Dominion tabulators scanned the entire ballot optically and tallied valid marks for all races where no ambiguity existed; only the problematic write-in race would be flagged for manual adjudication. The question is: was the entire ballot re-created and then re-run through the tabulators, including the up-ballot votes (i.e., Joe Biden, Senator Gary Peter, Rep. Rashida Tlaib), which could mean their votes were counted more than once?
If none of the safeguards that should have been in place at the TCF or at polling places across Detroit were honored during Detroit’s 2020 election, it would theoretically create significant opportunities for irregularities or manipulation—such as duplicate counting, improper adjudication, or untracked ballot handling—but to date, none of these 10,000+ “ghost voters,” with no names next to the ovals, have been reported.
Although we have our own theories about why this mass number of ballots was (intentionally) mismarked, we are seeking help from the general public. We are providing access to all “ghost vote” ballots HERE and hope that election integrity sleuths can help us determine all possible motives. Please send all theories to patty@thegatewaypundit.com
