DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Longtime Detroit activist and current city council candidate Ramon Jackson teamed up with popular Detroit Pastor Lorenzo Sewell to bus about 80 Detroit residents to Washington, D.C. last Thursday. The reason? To demand lawmakers take voter fraud allegations seriously.
Jackson calls out Detroit’s sketchy ballots.
Jackson, known for his activism in predominantly Black neighborhoods, is trying to make lawmakers squirm by highlighting election irregularities in Detroit, traditionally a Democratic stronghold. According to Jackson, absentee ballots in the Motor City have been rolling in with a plethora of red flags. His demands? Thorough investigations and better oversight – or in other words, he wants lawmakers to do their jobs.
In his speech, Jackson detailed allegations of fraudulent voting practices, including the use of names of individuals who have moved out of state, voting by mail with unverifiable identities, and incomplete voter roll transparency. He even shared his personal experience of identity theft in the voter system, where a ballot was cast in his name while he was living in another state.

According to a report and video from the Gateway Pundit in addition to other media outlets, Jackson, supported by citizens fed up with questionable ballot handling, says this isn’t about party loyalty – it’s about the legitimacy of elections. He said, “I have been unable to get a conversation with any Democrats about fair elections.” He pointed to the crowd behind him which included only three U.S. lawmakers, and said, “Look at this, we have no rep. from Michigan here with us. We all come from Detroit and we don’t got one of our federal reps down here.”
Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell also joined the rallygoers and Detroit officials to emphasize the importance of the SAVE Act, which would require voters in every state to provide proof of citizenship before casting a ballot.
Jackson rejected the notion that only white Republicans care about voter fraud, highlighting the more than 80 black Detroit residents who traveled with him to D.C.
In his speech, Jackson discussed his ongoing lawsuit against Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey and Michigan’s controversial Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, currently pending in the 6th District Court on appeal. In his federal lawsuit, he alleges that Winfrey and Benson conspired to register voters who no longer reside in Detroit and to cast fraudulent ballots using their identities. He claimed this scheme diluted legitimate votes in multiple elections from 2017 through 2024.
Jackson expressed his desire for a Republican jury, stating he believes they’d provide a fairer hearing regarding voter fraud allegations in Detroit.

Despite Jackson’s valiant effort to attract attention to his cause, only three reps attended his speech, none of them from the Great Lakes state. Nevertheless, Jackson is already planning next steps, vowing to keep fighting until someone, anyone, takes action.
Pastor Sewell also got the crowd wound up. He asked, “Why would we come all the way here from Detroit? Because the people of Detroit said, ‘Pastor, we’ve found a political murderer and serial killer that has dead bodies all over the ghettos of Detroit!’ I said, ‘Who is this murderer?’ and they said ‘Election Fraud!’”
In the end, these Detroit activists are making a pretty convincing point: perhaps concerns about voter fraud deserve more than just eye rolls and accusations of conspiracy theories – especially when the whistleblower shatters every stereotype and election integrity becomes a bipartisan issue.
