Dearborn Voters Warned Of False Election Issues

DEARBORN, MI — If you're a Dearborn resident who received a test message reporting ballot sensor issues during the Tuesday election, it is likely not true, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Nessel said in social media posts that text messages have been distributed warning residents of issues at the ballots. But the texts are false, Nessel said, and should not be listened to.

"Dearborn voters, text messages are reportedly being sent to trick you into thinking there are ballot sensor issues," she said. "Do not fall for it, it's a trick!"
