Michigan Secretary of State Loses Round in Fight Over Dead People on Voter Rolls
Epoch Times ^ | Steven Kovac

Posted on 08/29/2022 10:05:35 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

Organized election theft should be a capital crime.

Denying voters the right to vote. Even if they’re dead.

“C’mon, man, they’re still permanent residents. They deserve the right to vote”.

It is written in the Constitution—dead people have an absolute right to vote.

Oh wait....

I really would like to know what she told the judge which justified dead people on the voter rolls.

We’ll say to the baker: “just bake the cake”.

They fight for every inch even when it makes no sense. You gotta squish them like a bug. It’s what we did at Nagasaki.

It’s bigoted and racist to call people “dead”.

They’re ‘transmetabolic’.

since the extremist DemoNaziCommie operatives are mostly all atheists, they can’t complain that departed souls exist to have any right to vote

strange how anti-life the leftists are

they also deny babies the right to life
and
they usually also promote euthanasia of the sick and persons with disabilities

its a “perfect” trifecta...
against our living at all stages we pass through

It’s in the “penumbra” right next to abortion rights, gay marriage and transgenderism.

Just ask Justice Roberts.

My thoughts exactly! There is absolutely no legitimate reason to leave deceased voters on the active voter’s roll. The only reason for leaving them on is to invite voter fraud.

If she didn’t perform to the statute, what is the penalty to her beyond a reminder to do her job?

Actually, this would be the time to establish a tax on dead people voting.

If the average IQ of Michigan voters were a little more above room temperature, Republican Kristina Karamo might stand a chance of winning the November election for Secretary of State, replacing the incompetent, if not corrupt, pro-murder-by-abortion Demonicrat Jocelyn Benson.

Trump-backed Kristina Karamo has called abortion “child sacrifice” and a “satanic practice.”

From a public trust perspective, how can an elections official argue against removing deceased voters from registration rolls without it being an admission that they are complicit in voter fraud?

The only thing I can think of is that she thinks it would be too expensive man-hour-wise to do so before the election.

I say; tough shite. Shoulda been done long ago.
