Here Are Three Dead People Jocelyn Benson Wants To Keep On Michigan’s Voter Rolls

Published

on

If Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson gets her way, she will not be removing deceased registrants from her state’s voter rolls anytime soon. Even when a court ordered her to do so, she challenged it.

In August, a U.S. District Court denied Benson’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit, filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a conservative law firm committed to election integrity, that would force her to clean Michigan’s voter lists by removing residents who are deceased or no longer live in the state. In the fall of 2020, the group notified Benson of deceased registrants it found on Michigan’s voter lists and her obligation to remove them under the National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to make “a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.”

Despite apparently violating the law, Benson didn’t remove the ineligible registrants. PILF’s ongoing lawsuit seeks to compel Benson to remove nearly 26,000 dead voters from Michigan’s rolls. As The Federalist previously reported:

According to PILF’s own analysis of the 25,975 deceased registrants: 23,663 registrants have been dead for five years or more, 17,479 registrants have been dead for at least a decade, [and] 3,956 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years.

To find dead registrants, PILF purchased Michigan’s voter roll and hired a data analytics expert to check the names against social security records and other publicly available documentation of deceased individuals such as

Oklahoma Removes 450,000 Ineligible Voters From Rolls, Including Over 5,000 Felons

Published

on

Oklahoma election officials have removed more than 450,000 ineligible voters from the state’s rolls ahead of November’s election.

“Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted,” said Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in a press release

State election officials have removed 453,000 total ineligible voters since 2021, Stitt’s office announced Wednesday. 

As part of “routine voter list maintenance,” the state has removed 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, 97,065 dead voters, and 143,682 voters who moved out of state, according to the release. During address verification, officials also canceled 194,962 inactive voters.

We all need an ID to fly, buy alcohol, cash a check, etc.

There’s no reason a state shouldn’t have strict voter ID laws. It’s just common sense.

In Oklahoma, our laws require proof of identity for every voter, regardless of whether you’re voting early, absentee, or in-person.

— Governor Kevin Stitt (@GovStitt) September 18, 2024

Stitt’s office has been working with legislators, the state election board, and the secretary of state on voter list maintenance. Officials are using technology like artificial intelligence to “protect our elections,” said Secretary of State Josh Cockroft in the release.

“We’ve aggressively pursued policies to ensure voting is secure and accurate,” Cockroft said. “Every eligible citizen will have their vote counted and their voice heard.”

Oklahoma allows “only eligible voters” to take part in elections, according to the release. The state’s June primaries had a “100% voter verification match,” KOSU

SCOTUS Threats Suggest Democrats’ Attacks On The Court Encourage Politically Motivated Terrorism

Published

on

A 76-year-old Alaskan man is in custody after he allegedly threatened to assault, kidnap, lynch, torture, murder, and assassinate six of the nine Supreme Court justices. The names of the justices targeted, however, were withheld by the Department of Justice — likely because they confirm Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric against the conservative members of the court is working.

The DOJ announced on Thursday that Panos Anastasiou faces nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce after he sent more than 465 messages pledging harm against justices via “a public website the court maintained.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland acknowledged in the Thursday press release that the communications were rooted in Anastasiou’s desire to “retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.” Yet, neither he nor the Department of Justice memo announcing the arrest identified exactly which of the nine SCOTUS members and their family members were terrorized.

In fact, the DOJ went out of its way in its 11-page September 18 indictment of Anastasiou to disguise which high bench presiders were in danger for upholding their constitutional duties by reducing the justices to numbers “1-6.” Six of the nine sitting SCOTUS justices were nominated to the high bench by Republican presidents.

The document accusing the Alaskan of several felonies, however, shows Anastasiou’s threats were well timed not only with a Democrat-manufactured ethics scandal, but also decisions secured specifically by the court’s conservative majority.

In May, as corporate media ramped up Democrat-manufactured

NFL Get-Out-The-Vote Initiative Partners With Democrat Activist Groups

Published

on

Are you ready for some football?! How about some leftist-led get-out-the-vote (GOTV) games? 

Well, you get both with the NFL Votes campaign. 

The all-powerful National Football League says the “League-wide, nonpartisan initiative supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans.” Launched in 2020 as a joint effort between the NFL and NFL Players Association, NFL Votes “focuses on three key components of the electoral process: voter education, voter registration, and voter activation,” according to the league’s website.

Sounds noble enough.

But if you’re scoring along at home, the NFL’s teammates include some of the most left-wing activist organizations on the election field today. Starting on the campaign’s roster is Rock the Vote, Voto Latino, and I am a voter

Rock the Leftists

Rock the Vote has been around since 1990, when music executives partnered with MTV and celebrities on the “Censorship is Un-American” campaign after foul-mouthed rap acts such as N.W.A and 2 Live Crew brought out an indignant wave of speech silencers.

It was a simpler time, when MTV actually played music videos. 

Thrilled by its accomplishment of activating “millions of young people” to turn out to the polls, the leftist nonprofit has parlayed its GOTV successes into a multitude of leftist causes over its 30-plus years in operation — even as targeting the young adult vote remained central to its efforts.

“The group claims to be nonpartisan, but has produced videos throughout the years using celebrities who largely endorse a
