A Michigan official has been charged with six election fraud felonies for allegedly altering absentee ballots and forging records during the November 2018 midterm elections.

Democratic city clerk for Southfield, Oakland County, Sherikia Hawkins, was arrested Sept. 23 after state police found 193 absentee voter records from the city had been altered and improperly listed as invalid.
