#News Abu Ahmed Musa was sworn in as acting mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, even though he was caught on video stuffing absentee ballots into a dropbox, who can barely speak English. Musa, who was already serving as mayor pro tem, was sworn in to fill a temporary vacancy created by the removal of Adam Alharbi while the city prepares to install Muhith Mahmood, who won after 37 previously uncounted absentee ballots were counted. Surveillance from city hall was released after FOIA requests. It captured multiple incidents in the days before the August 5, 2025, primary: On August 1, 2025, a vehicle pulled up to the drop box. Musa was in the passenger seat and handed bundles of ballots to the driver, who deposited them. A separate late-night clip showed a black pickup with Musa in the back seat while the driver forced stacks into the box, looking around repeatedly. Musa finished first in that primary with 1,129 votes. Of those, 843 came from absentee ballots and 286 from Election Day. Michigan State Police confirmed the footage was part of their investigation; however, no charges have been filed against him. Two other council members, Mohammed Hassan and Muhtasin Sadman, were charged with forgery and related election offenses tied to the 2023 race involving unvoted absentee ballots signed by recently naturalized citizens. A private investigator hired by the city reported that Musa lives in Warren with his wife and children while claiming a Hamtramck address. Fights over ballots, residency, and control have consumed more than a year of litigation and investigations in Hamtramck, which is a M*slim majority city with an all M*slim city council and M*slim mayor. How long should a city keep an official in power who was caught stuffing ballots before an election he won - on absentee votes - and allegedly does not even live there? #ChristinaAguayoNews
