Michigan -- Sherikia Hawkins, 38, was honored earlier this year with an award from the state's Democratic Party. Now she faces six felony charges for allegedly forging records and marking valid absentee ballots as invalid during the 2018 election.
According to court documents, Michigan police found that the absentee voter files were changed in the city’s computer system to say they either had no signature or no return date, when they had both valid signatures and return dates. Police stated that after Oakland County Election Director Joseph Rozell found that Hawkins had submitted altered reports, his staff found the original ones in a trash can at the election division office, proving that Ms. Hawkins isn't all that bright when it comes to covering up her alleged crime. Allegedly.
The Democratic award winning clerk of Southfield was busted Monday after the Oakland County Clerk's office discovered discrepancies in voter counts while certifying absentee ballots. State police [often referred to as "pigs" by Democrats] investigated and found that 193 voter files were improperly listed as invalid.
“Our elections are the foundation of our democracy, and under my and Attorney General [Dana] Nessel’s administration there will be no tolerance for any actions that undermine that foundation — anywhere, anytime, by any person or official,” Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a fellow Democrat and former Dean of Wayne State University, said in a statement. Crain's named Benson one of Michigan's "Most Influential Women" in 2018.

Sherikia Hawkins is now facing election fraud charges and if found guilty, she ought to be deported to a country that has no free and fair elections. Just sayin',
Benson insisted that the alleged fraud did not affect the outcome of the election, which is, of course, totally irrelevant.
“All valid votes in the election were ultimately counted and the final official vote total was accurate,” she said, according to The Detroit News.
Hawkins’ arrest comes just months after she was honored on May 18 at the Michigan Democratic Party’s Legacy Dinner, where she received the Dingell/Levin Award for being a brave Democratic soldier in the fight against the Republican Party and free elections. [I made the last part up.]

In 2017, Hawkins was listed among the "40 under 40" by the Michigan Chronicle, according to a government bio from her previous role as Pontiac city clerk.
Hawkins has been charged with falsifying records in violation of state election law, forgery of a public record, misconduct in office and three counts of using a computer to commit a crime. The top count carries a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison but it's more likely she'll get 14 days based on the recent powderpuff sentences being handed out for outrageous behavior by the left.
She was arraigned on Monday and released on $15,000 bond, according to a state press release. Hawkins has a probable cause conference set for Sept. 30, and another hearing scheduled for Oct. 15.
