Michigan Removes 177,000 Voters From Voter Rolls After Legal Challenge: Election watchdog calls the settlement a check on voter fraud
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 02/18/2021 | Graham Piro

he Michigan secretary of state removed 177,000 inactive voters from the state's voter rolls after settling a legal challenge.

The state removed the names from the voter rolls in late January because the voters no longer live in the state or did not respond to the state's inquiries about their addresses, according to a Tuesday district court announcement. The state performed the post-election audit during a legal battle with the Honest Elections Project, an election watchdog.

Jason Snead, head of the Honest Elections Project, which supported the lawsuit, said the state's decision to remove the voters will help combat any allegations of voter fraud. "The last thing that we want is to create a system in which you could have widespread voter fraud or where it's impossible to debunk false allegations of widespread voter fraud because you are undermining or failing to act on the necessary measures that help to prevent fraud and bolster confidence in the democratic process," he said.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D.) called the move a victory for transparency.

"Since November, my administration has continued to work with election officials across our state to review and strengthen all our election processes and protocols, in preparation for 2021’s local elections," Benson said in a press release. "When carried out transparently, accurately and in accordance with federal law, list maintenance is an important element of ensuring Michigan’s election system remains secure."

Benson also admitted that Michigan's list of registered voters lacked "sufficient comprehensive efforts" to maintain its accuracy. Her office did not respond to a request for comment.

The move comes after President Joe Biden won the state by more than 100,000 votes, securing its 16 electoral votes.

Related is a side issue: Gov. Whitmer immediately ordered Joceyln Benson to erase the 2021 election records on all the voting machines (”So they will be ready for any future election use.”

During battle over allowing lawsuits to continue to find evidence of irregularities.

A check on voter fraud? More like a cover-up of voter fraud.

“The Michigan secretary of state removed 177,000 inactive voters from the state’s voter rolls...” Removed and carefully set aside until they’re needed for the next election.

and what about the Detroit convention center where black people wearing Biden/Harris hats and shirts were “counting” votes while repubs were kept away?

Any plans on fixing that?

And in a year, they’ll all be back.

Democrats have to win elections.

They don’t know how to work.

The democrats and the NWO establishment pukes in DC stole the 2020 election. Now that they cheated to cement themselves into political power, they don’t need another stinking election.

“Benson sent ballot applications to every voter in the state in May, drawing the ire of then-president Donald Trump. Approximately 500,000 of those applications were returned to the state because the recipient died or had moved.

So 500,000 were improperly registered, but only 177,000 were removed. Is another suit required? Does the 500,000 include the 177,000 already identified for the SoS?

How many of the “voter identities” related to the “500,000 returned applications” were logged in and voted in the Nov 2020 election? Crosschecking the lists would seem an easy computer job, and it needs doing immediately.

Zero.

Excerpt from the Michigan SOS Statement:

In support of those efforts, today Benson made publicly available the list of approximately 177,000 voter registrations slated for cancellation because the state has reason to believe the voter has moved away from the registration address. These individuals either surrendered a Michigan Driver’s License to another state or had election mail returned undeliverable to an election official prior to the 2018 election. They were sent a notification prior to the 2018 election requiring a response, did not respond to the notice and did not engage in any voting activity in at least the last two federal election cycles (2020 and 2018).

A list of all audits that includes their current status is available on the Bureau of Elections website.

These are the voters they didn’t have time to harvest. All the other fraudulent votes are now duly registered and active.

They should determine who allowed them to be counted in the first place and fire them.
