GOPers, anti-voting activists spread misinformation about Michigan's voter rolls
In recent weeks, anti-voting activists and a Republican county election official have made bold claims about Michigan’s voter rolls, alleging that an untold number of noncitizens were illegally registered to vote in the state.
But experts say the unverified claims rely on cherry-picked data to paint a misleading picture in an effort to attack Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the leading Democratic candidate for governor.
Anthony Forlini, the Macomb County Clerk and a Republican candidate for secretary of state, said this week that his office pulled the names of 239 alleged noncitizens who were picked for possible jury duty service in the past few months. Forlini added that he cross-checked that list with the county’s voter rolls, finding that at least 14 of the names were registered to vote at some point.
“The fact we have discovered this egregious flaw, indicates to me that there may be a much larger issue throughout the State that needs investigation,” he wrote

If they have names of 239 alleged non-citizens who were selected for possible jury duty,, then they would have 239 (not “at least 14”) who were registered to vote. In Michigan, they get names of potential jurors from the registry of voters. If you aren’t registered to vote, you can’t be selected for potential jury duty!
And this idiot wants to be Secretary of State??
