The O’Keefe Media Group on Saturday released undercover video showing non-US citizens from Iran allowed to vote in Michigan’s primary without an ID.
Radical Islamo-Marxist Democrat Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed secured the primary for US Senate in Michigan this week.
Now it is being revealed that non-US citizens from Iran were able to walk into polling locations in Michigan during this summer’s primary election and vote.
The non-citizens who were allowed to vote are sex offenders and are on the DHS’s ” worst of the worst” list.
Per O’Keefe Media Group:
OMG’s undercover journalists investigated two Michigan registered voters identified as non-U.S. citizens in federal court and DHS records. One of them, Afshin Masheli, is identified in federal court records as an Iranian national and non-U.S. citizen. DHS has previously featured Masheli on its publicly released “Worst of the Worst” list, which highlights noncitizens arrested by ICE for serious criminal offenses. According to United States District Court records, Masheli is a registered sex offender.
OMG proved that at Masheli’s assigned polling location, election workers confirmed a voter registration under his name appeared in the poll book and stated that a registered voter listed there could cast a ballot. Our undercover journalist spoke to Afshin Masheli himself and Masheli said he planned to vote later that day.
Our investigation also identified another registered voter, Fazlollah Haritash, whose federal records identify him as a non-U.S. citizen. Public court records and Michigan’s public sex offender registry showing the criminal convictions, and the registry lists him as incarcerated. At the polling location associated with Fazlollah Haritash’s voter registration, an election worker confirmed that a voter registration under his name appeared on Michigan’s voter rolls.
On July 6, 2026, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon sent a letter to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson stating that knowingly retaining noncitizens on Michigan’s statewide voter registration list, issuing ballots to them, and counting those ballots violate Section 12(2)(B) of the National Voter Registration Act. The letter urged the state to ensure its voter rolls comply with federal law.
Michigan law limits voting to eligible U.S. citizens. This investigation should make you question how U.S. voter registration records are maintained and whether individuals identified in federal records as non-U.S. citizens remain registered to vote.
O’Keefe Media Group has contacted the Michigan Secretary of State, the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the Department of Justice for comment and will update this report with any responses.
“All I know is you’re [Afshin Masheli] registered to vote here. The rest of the information is not important to me,” the poll worker said.
“Yes, this is the right place. You [Fazlollah Haritash] are registered to vote here,” another poll worker said.
