There are 25,975 deceased people whose names are still on Michigan's voter rolls. Of these, 23,663 had been dead for five years or more, and 17,449 had been dead for at least a decade. Federal law requires these names to be removed. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been refusing to remove them. She has now been sued by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF). Benson's motion to dismiss the case was denied by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.
"President Biden is the duly elected ruler of our democracy," Benson said. "Only he has the authority to enforce federal laws. If he tells me to remove the names, I'll remove the names. In the absence of such a directive from him I have to assume that he has good reasons for keeping these name on the eligible voter list. Before he was elected president he said he had put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. It's possible that retaining these names on the rolls plays an important role in this organization's work and, seeing how successful it was in 2020, I'm not willing to tamper with it."
In other election interference news, the FBI denied Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's claim that the agency pressured him to censor evidence from Hunter Biden's laptop in the months running up to the November 2020 presidential election. Director Christopher Wray insisted that "everybody knows we would never do such a thing. Mr. Zuckerberg's notion that we did may be an early warning sign of the 'Sudden Adult Death Syndrome' that lately has been killing so many vibrant individuals in the prime of their lives. We recommend a vow of silence as the best prophylactic for warding off such a fate for himself."

“My grandmother voted Republican her whole life; she’s voted Democrat ever since then.”
Isn’t there a record of how many of these dead people have continued to cast votes?
There’s a case to be made that just because dead people can’t get ID’s, drive themselves to the poll, and aren’t active in their communities that they should be removed from the voter rolls is discrimination...like ageism, for example.
All good points and I would add we don’t how these “voters” self-identify; they might identify as alive. Eternal life, you know.
One ghost, one vote. More in Chicago.
