Michigan officials restored 1,100 voters to the rolls in two townships because voters are entitled to time to explain whether their voting residency has really changed or whether an address change is temporary. "[Journalists] exposed a targeted, right-wing plot to expedite that cancellation schedule ahead of the 2024 presidential election—including a failed scheme to cancel registrations in Genoa and Waterford townships."
Right-wing activists target Democratic areas and then seek to expedite removal of voters from the rolls. But their allegations rarely prove true. "Just last week, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against [Michigan Secretary of State] Benson's office that alleged officials were allowing thousands of dead voters to remain on the voter rolls, finding that Michigan is 'consistently among the most active states' in canceling the registration of dead voters."
