Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has failed to convince a judge to dismiss a case that could force the state to remove 25,975 deceased people from its voter rolls.
Benson moved for dismissal of a case brought against her in November 2021 by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) for her failure to clean up the state’s voter registration rolls—in an alleged violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
On Aug. 25, Benson’s motion to dismiss the case was denied by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The court also denied the motions to intervene filed by the Detroit/Downriver Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans, and Rise Inc.
Additionally, PILF’s suit seeks to force Benson to provide documentation of her efforts to remove deceased registrants from the voter rolls, something she has thus far also failed to do.
PILF notified Benson of the problem in September 2020 and again in November 2020, a year before it filed its lawsuit.
The foundation provided Benson with the names of 25,975 voters who had died but were still on Michigan’s voter rolls, as were discovered by its research. Of these, 23,663 registrants had been dead for five years or more, and 17,449 had been dead for at least a decade.

vote fraud case - reminder - bttt
A few weeks after my mother passed away last year, I stopped at the county’s Registrar’s office to tell them to remove her name from the voter roll. I’ve known the Registrar for decades and he informed me that he had put a hold on her name once he saw the obituary and then removed her as an eligible voter once he received official notice of her death from the local Health Department. (We are a small rural county and he said he checks all surrounding news-site’s obituary notices daily).
The Registrar said their office also received notice of her death from the State. So, it’s not as if the election officials aren’t notified of these deaths. I suspect most states have similar laws or rules of notification to the Registrar’s office that Georgia has in place. Once notified that someone is deceased, there is no reason to have their name remain on the voter rolls unless they plan to cast a vote in that person’s name. The only reason the Secretary of State would be fighting such an issue is for voter fraud.
