According to this article from the Detroit News, before the 2020 election, election workers in Michigan detected thousands of fraudulent absentee ballots. The election workers prevented these ballots from being counted.
All of these fraudulent ballots had been submitted by the same person. This person was working for a company that paid people to collect ballots. It is thought that this fraud was done only for money, and not for political reasons.
The Michigan election workers told the FBI all about this, including the identify of the person who turned in thousands of fraudulent ballots.
But here's the big deal: That person was never prosecuted.
That means that the FBI is perfectly OK with the fact that someone turned in thousands of fraudulent ballots.
That's a huge crime. But the FBI never prosecuted the person who did it.

Lansing — Authorities in Michigan referred a 2020 investigation into thousands of voter registrations submitted by a person in Muskegon to the FBI, Attorney General Dana Nessel's office confirmed this week.
Nessel's press secretary, Danny Wimmer, said the total number of suspected fraudulent forms delivered to the Muskegon clerk by the individual was 8,000 to 10,000 ahead of the Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election.
However, Wimmer said, the "attempted fraud" was caught before Election Day because Michigan's election system worked and the applicants were not added to the state's voter rolls.
"The city clerk in Muskegon detected the fraudulent material provided and alerted the proper authorities," Wimmer said in a statement. "A thorough investigation was conducted by multiple agencies within the state and no successful fraud was perpetrated upon the state’s election process or qualified voter file."
The unresolved probe, which first became public in October 2020, has garnered new attention among conservative-leaning websites in recent days after the Gateway Pundit highlighted police reports about investigators' efforts. The conservative website, which has advanced false and unproven theories in the past about voter fraud influencing Democrat Joe Biden's victory, wrote in its headline for the story, "Now we have proof."
However, officials in Michigan contented in recent days, the incident was proof that election administrators are capable of catching and preventing wrongdoing when it is attempted.
