Benson says flawed review risks disenfranchising eligible Michigan voters
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says some Michigan voters may be at risk of criminal investigation or having voter registration cancelled after a Republican county clerk made claims that he found proof of non-citizens voting in Michigan.
She said an investigation into Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini’s allegations that he had identified 15 non-citizens who were registered to vote in Michigan returned mixed results.
Of the 15 residents flagged by Forlini, the Bureau of Elections identified four apparent non-citizens who are registered to vote in Michigan. The Michigan Department of State will send them a letter asking to confirm their eligibility to vote and will cancel their registration if they don’t respond.
The Michigan Department of State previously cancelled the voter registrations of four of the individuals and is seeking additional documentation from four others.
