After seven months of insisting that Michigan voter rolls are credible, the Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has announced her plans to remove 177,000 names from the voter rolls.

“The secretary of state did not take us up on an offer to work with them to improve that process prompting a lawsuit from a Michigan voter Tony Daunt,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told Jack Posobiec of One America News.

Snead said that the integrity of an election starts with accurate voter rolls. He further stated that Michigan’s voter roll has been inflated for some time.

“Clean election starts with clean voter rolls, that is the first rule for people to be confident with the election results," he said.

“Seven months after the lawsuit, we are now hearing in the secretary of state’s own words that in fact, Michigan does not have, has not had a comprehensive program to clean up the voter rolls."

Snead mentioned a data analysis that was conducted a year ago which “pointed out to state officials that there are records in a number of counties that had more voters registered than voting age-eligible citizens.” 

“That’s a clear sign that the state wasn’t adequately cleaning up the rolls ensuring that only current and eligible voters are on them,” he said.
