Matt Maddock, a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted several statements on his social media account on August 19, 2025. His posts addressed political figures, vehicle registration fees in Michigan, and allegations regarding election integrity.

In one post made at 21:42 UTC, Maddock commented on the departure of an unnamed individual by stating, "Good. Another communist gone".

Later that evening at 21:55 UTC, he addressed the cost of vehicle registration in Michigan: "Same thing here in Michigan. Plate fees are based off original cost of the vehicle and average cost is 500 a year." In Michigan, license plate renewal fees are determined by factors such as the original price and age of the vehicle; these costs can vary significantly depending on these variables.

At 21:59 UTC, Maddock alleged misconduct in state elections with the statement: "Studies and statistics prove Michigan democrats cheat between 150-300,000 votes every election and it’s almost all done using mail-in cheating." Claims regarding widespread voter fraud have been widely disputed by election officials and independent reviews. There has been no credible evidence to support assertions that large-scale mail-in voting fraud has occurred in recent Michigan elections.

Matt Maddock has served multiple terms representing constituents in Oakland County. He is known for making strong statements about election security and government policy.
