**Chaos Unleashed: Michigan's Voter Roll Integrity in Question**
In a revelation that raises significant concerns about electoral integrity, the Michigan Secretary of State's recent review of non-citizens on the state's voter rolls has been criticized for its narrow focus.
The review conducted by Secretary Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, examined only those non-citizens who possess driver's licenses, effectively excluding a substantial portion of individuals who may have registered without proper identification. This raises the critical question: how many non-citizens are still on our voter rolls?
Benson initially reported that just 15 non-citizens had voted in the previous November election. However, these findings are being questioned by election integrity advocates who argue that the state is not adequately verifying the citizenship status of its voters.
This concern was further magnified when it came to light that a Chinese foreign national, a student at the University of Michigan, had registered and voted illegally in the last election. He has since been charged with felony counts related to false swearing and voting while unqualified, bringing attention to the potential for more widespread voting irregularities.
In a group chat, Benson and her staff acknowledged the difficulties in obtaining data regarding voters lacking identification. Their comments reveal an alarming admission: understanding the full scope of the situation would require an in-depth and time-consuming query into voter records. Critics argue that such a selective investigation illustrates a lack of commitment to ensuring that only U.S. citizens participate in elections.
“This is a serious issue,” remarked Patrice Johnson, chair of Pure Integrity Michigan Elections. Johnson emphasized that the state's failure to verify citizenship effectively allows individuals to be added to the voter rolls without sufficient scrutiny, a scenario that undermines trust in the electoral process.
Surprisingly, Michigan's laws are about to change. A new legislation set to take effect soon will require non-citizens to prove their status to be removed from voter rolls, a step that should help mitigate the issue but is seen as a delayed response to an urgent problem.
Despite the gravity of these findings, Benson reassured the public that the rates of non-citizen voting remain incredibly low, citing a figure that represents a mere 0.00028% of total votes cast in the last presidential election. This statistical claim, however, does little to abate concerns over the integrity of elections in Michigan.
As Michigan grapples with these pivotal issues, it serves as a striking reminder of the importance of robust election integrity measures. With rising fears over voter fraud and the potential influence of non-citizens, it is crucial that state officials prioritize transparency and accountability moving forward.
Amidst the ongoing debate, one thing remains clear: the integrity of our electoral process is paramount, and more must be done to uphold the sanctity of every citizen's vote.
