Related: About this forumMichigan man facing felony charges for voter fraud, AG says
A Canton Township man is facing felony charges for filling out, signing and submitting his daughters ballot to the local clerks office.
Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the charges in a Nov. 13 press release where she said her office is also issuing several cease and desist letters to entities and individuals spreading misinformation during the Nov. 3 Election.
These actions highlight my offices commitment to pursuing, investigating and charging, when necessary, election fraud, Nessel said. Signing someone elses name to a ballot is a felony under state law, and spreading misinformation to purposefully interfere with our election and ballot-counting processes is criminal behavior that will not be tolerated.
Michigans layered review of the election process make it difficult for a person to commit voter fraud, Nessel said, which is why it so seldom occurs.

They really hate democracy.

run Michigan. Governor Whitmer, Secretary of State Benson, and Attorney General Nessel are extraordinary.
