Court rejects Democrat official’s attempt to keep 26k dead people on Michigan voter rolls

[SugarDaddy1]

The U.S. Western District Court of Michigan denied a plea by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) that sought to halt a lawsuit alleging she kept nearly 26,000 dead registrants on the state’s voter rolls.

In November 2021, as Breitbart News reported, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed suit against Benson accusing her of keeping nearly 26,000 dead registrants on Michigan voter rolls and thus violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Benson, in response, sought to have the lawsuit thrown out. On Thursday, the district court denied Benson’s effort to dismiss the case.

Conservatives have a hard time wrapping their minds around the fact that people on voter rolls are not monitored and maintained like prisoners on probation and that dead people don't contact the local government to have their name removed from voter rolls. Because everyone knows a responsible citizen in the middle of a fatal heart attack or car crash they're top priority is to make sure their name doesn't appear on voter rolls after their death.

That helps explain how Trump won Michigan in 2016.

How many actual votes were cast by these 26,000 dead people?

That's not a factual headline.

Its not a big deal they stay on the record, the issue would be was their a ballot cast for them through the mail? If so, then that's a crime. That's not party, that's common sense and the law.

But...everything is party now and nothing is common sense.

That depends on the state. And there's been no evidence presented to suggested that it happened outside of a few votes.

Well, we are talking about the party that gave us the phrase, "Not intended to be a factual statement", after all.
