decision to ignore Michigan’s statutory signatureverification<br />

requirements for absentee ballots. Former<br />

Vice President Biden received approximately 587,074,<br />

or 68%, of the votes cast there compared to President<br />

Trump’s receiving approximate 264,149, or 30.59%, of<br />

the total vote. Thus, Mr. Biden materially benefited<br />

from these unconstitutional changes to Michigan’s<br />

election law.<br />

94. Numerous poll challengers and an<br />

Election Department employee whistleblower have<br />

testified that the signature verification requirement<br />

was ignored in Wayne County in a case currently<br />

pending in the Michigan Supreme Court. 4 For<br />

example, Jesse Jacob, a decades-long City of Detroit<br />

employee assigned to work in the Elections Department for<br />

the 2020 election testified that:<br />

Absentee ballots that were received in the mail would<br />

have the voter’s signature on the envelope. While I<br />

was at the TCF Center, I was instructed not to look at<br />

any of the signatures on the absentee ballots, and I<br />

was instructed not to compare the signature on the<br />

absentee ballot with the signature on file. 5<br />
