Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted several tweets on March 16, 2026, sharing his experiences during a storm and making claims about the U.S. postal system.
At 2:05 a.m., Maddock reported losing electricity at his residence, stating “We just lost power 20 min ago and we never lose power.”
Later that morning at 2:23 a.m., he questioned the impact of the storm on local energy infrastructure by asking “Now I’m wondering if any wind turbines in Michigan were deleted with this storm. Maybe none? Text me pics if you see any. 248-866-0541 https://t.co/9uGIkLlnQa”
By midday at 12:22 p.m., Maddock made an allegation regarding election integrity and postal workers, writing “Postal employees and the Post Office are the mules that move the illegal ballots to where they need to be to get voted. https://t.co/HSWkKSqdry”
Maddock is known for his vocal stances on election security and criticism of renewable energy sources such as wind turbines. Claims concerning widespread voter fraud involving mail-in ballots have been repeatedly investigated; no evidence has substantiated allegations that postal workers or the United States Postal Service systematically transported illegal ballots during recent elections.
