Last week, I told you about Muslim attempts to take over Hamtramck, Michigan, a/k/a “Hamtramckstan,” via ballot and election fraud. As I’ve noted over the years, Hamtramck went from a largely Polish Catholic Detroit suburb to a Muslim-dominated shariah city. But, until now, Muslims have never won the mayor position or taken over Hamtramck’s City Council. That’s coming. But until then, several Muslims thought they’d get things going faster through election fraud–by turning in hundreds of fraudulent absentee ballots (the number of absentee ballots cast in this year’s summer primary election were double the number cast in last year’s Presidential election). Today, several Muslims were criminally charged by Michigan’s Attorney General for the election fraud. Unfortunately, Abdul Algazali, the Muslim candidate for Mayor who may have had a part in the scheme, is not among those charged and will likely be elected Hamtramckstan Mayor in November. I call this “election jihad” or “halalection.”

Three men, including a Hamtramck city council candidate in August’s primary election, are being charged with returning absentee ballots that did not belong to them. . . . Hamtramck Deputy City Clerk August Gitschlag told authorities that three people had delivered multiple absentee ballots to City Hall in violation of state election law, which says those in possession of ballots must be the voter, a relative, mail carrier or authorized official.

Salim Ahmed, 50, of Hamtramck, is charged with 21 counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. Armani Asad, 33, of Hamtramck, is charged with 14 counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. Mohammed Russell, 32, of Hamtramck, is charged with six counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. The charges are felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a $1,000 fine. The men are expected to turn themselves in to authorities Thursday for arraignment, where they will be held on $10,000 bail each.

Asad was a candidate for city council in the Aug. 6 primary. He finished ninth out of 10 candidates with 307 votes. The top six vote-getters advanced to November’s election to vie for four-year terms. Ahmed was a campaign worker.

The investigation into possible ballot tampering is continuing.

Last week, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers announced after a recount of the city’s ballots that it would be sending letters to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office and the chief judge of the 31st District Court to investigate the election. They claimed probable cause of fraud based on the high number of absentee ballots turned in by residents and the high number of absentee voters, which was nearly twice the amount received during the 2012 presidential election. City Councilwoman Cathie Gordon, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in the August primary, said she’s glad some progress is being made into the allegations.

“If you want to be on a ballot and you want to be an elected official in our town, you have to be 100 percent transparent and 100 percent honest,” said Gordon, who petitioned Wayne County for the recount. “If you are not, we don’t want you here.”

The so-called “Religion of Peace” is actually the religion of election fraud . . . while they still allow us to have elections. If they have their way, that will end, too. Check out Gaza . . . where HAMAS was elected once. And never held a full-scale election again.

Hamtramck ain’t that much different. Just remember: they can’t take over the U.S. through violent jihad (yet), so they are doing it another way: election fraud.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know: election fraud doesn’t exist, Muslims are completely honest and peaceful and would never engage in such a thing even if it did exist, and the roads are made of Juicy Fruit, and the world is a bunch of lollipops.

One other thing: before you go cheering Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, remember that he is a butt snorkeler to Muslims himself and gladly hangs out with a number of Hezbollah agents and supporters.
