Rogers Revives Evidence-Free ‘Ballot Van’ Claim About 2024 Michigan Senate Loss

State-certified results and a standard audit upheld Elissa Slotkin’s narrow 2024 victory.

Overview

  • New reports document videos of Mike Rogers telling October audiences in Detroit and Muskegon that a 5:30 a.m. van in Detroit delivered ballots that he says flipped the contest.
  • Democrats including U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed publicly rejected the allegation as false.
  • Official returns and a post-election audit confirmed Slotkin’s win, which Rogers conceded in 2024 without alleging fraud at the time.
  • Asked to provide supporting evidence, the Rogers campaign did not respond to reporters’ inquiries.
  • Rogers is now running for Michigan’s other U.S. Senate seat in 2026 as the sole declared Republican, while Stevens, McMorrow and El-Sayed compete for the Democratic nomination.
