HUGE DISCOVERY! Soros-Funded MI SOS Jocelyn Benson’s Voter Rolls Contain “Over 48,000 NON-LEGAL voter registrations at Trailer Parks and Apartment Housing Addresses”

HUGE DISCOVERY! Soros-Funded MI SOS Jocelyn Benson’s Voter Rolls Contain “Over 48,000 NON-LEGAL voter registrations at Trailer Parks and Apartment Housing Addresses”
A guest post by Check My Vote (CMV) and Michigan Fair Elections (MFE)
Just as clean voter rolls are the heartbeat of election integrity, bloated and inaccurate rolls invite misconduct and abuse. Until now, voter roll information, required by law to be transparent, has been out of reach to most citizens and even to many election clerks. In response, a Michigan-based nonprofit organization has piloted a voter roll cleanup program. Check My Vote (CMV) features user-friendly software and brings publicly available information in the state’s voter rolls to users’ fingertips.
Phani Mantravadi, an information technology engineer, works at dual computer monitors as he perfects the user-friendly menu for Soles to the Rolls.
A few clicks of the mouse, and residents and election clerks alike can view their own voting histories and the registered voters in their area—at no charge. The secrecy of a person’s ballot is protected, of course, but whether the individual voted absentee or in person during past elections is public information.

“User feedback is helping us put Michigan on the cutting edge of voter roll truth and accuracy,” said Tim Vetter, co-developer and co-founder of checkmyvote.org.
Over the past several months, Michigan Fair Elections has piloted its Soles to the Rolls program among its statewide network of volunteers. “The county task forces beta-tested checkmyvote.org and provided feedback,” Patrice Johnson, chair of MFE, said. “The result is greater transparency and improved ease of access to Michigan’s voter rolls. Now, we’re pleased to roll out the program statewide.”
“Dirty voter rolls are a national security issue. Every citizen should be concerned,” said Vetter. “It’s a citizen’s right and duty to participate in a fair election process, and Soles to the Rolls is designed to encourage participation, regardless of a person’s technology skillset.”

Vetter, a manufacturing equipment engineer by trade, understands the critical value of timely and accurate information. “At work, all decisions are data-driven,” he said. “If my source data is not accurate, my company could waste millions of dollars per hour. It’s better to have no data than to have wrong data.”
When asked to describe the importance of accurate election data, Vetter replied, “We citizens have one tool for expressing our voice in this representative government of ours. We have our vote. Asking me the value of my vote is like asking me the value of my freedom.”

Vetter invited readers to go to the CMV website and take a look at the dashboard, designed to assist residents and clerks in every election jurisdiction across the state. “I encourage all Michigan citizens to become a part of MFE’s Soles to the Rolls effort. Use the newly developed digital tools for yourself and assist your local, hardworking clerk to clean Michigan’s Qualified Voter File (QVF) and keep it clean.”
“Anyone who opposes checks and balances on our elections might as well try to argue that football games should have no referees,” said Phani Mantravadi, co-founder of checkmyvote.org. “Human nature is what it is, so wherever power and money are involved, the temptation to cheat is too great for some. This is why the Founding Fathers of this nation enacted the U.S. Constitution.”
The same reasons gave rise to federal transparency laws and compelled state lawmakers to enact laws requiring equal numbers of Democrat and Republican election inspectors at the polls. “Questioning minds help keep everyone honest,” Mantravadi, an information technology engineer, said with a wry grin. He and his wife, Aldona, have three children and are residents of Livingston County.

But even if the registration rolls are cleaned up, as long as they continue to use ERIC and all the other machines, it won't fix a thing.
1. No auto mail in ballots. Requested absentee ballots or vote in person.
2. No drop boxes.
3. Clean up and ensure voter rolls stay clean. No ERIC either.
4. Counting to be done by hand on-site at the polling station.
5. No vehicles in or out of the building at the polling station. To prevent outside ballots from being brought in.
6. No voting tablets/iPads... To prevent the machine from flipping the vote you pressed.
7. No tabulating machines. All counts to be done by hand.
8. No scanners. Actual ballots must be hand counted.
9. No correction machines. If a ballot cannot be clearly read, have 6 staffers (3 R & 3 D) determine the vote and that ballot must be kept separate from the rest of the ballots. If too many ballots cannot be clearly read, you have another new major problem.
10. Voter ID required.
11. Federal law requiring dead people to be removed from the voter rolls within 2 weeks of the death and strict penalties if not followed.
12. Etc.

'Massive in scale': State officials admit 2020 election contaminated with ineligible voters
'What struck me was the sheer numbers'
By Bob Unruh
Published April 23, 2023 at 10:56am
The truth about the failings in the 2020 presidential election is coming out – gradually.
After all of the complaints about unsecure voting procedures, voting system failures and outside and unacceptable election influences during the 2020 vote, Democrats still contend it was more or less a perfect election.
The evidence shows otherwise.
While it doesn't involve millions, or even thousands, of votes, a case in Wisconsin has documented actual dirt in the vote there.
According to a report from the Thomas More Society, which has been investigating reports of election problems since the event, one county clerk in Wisconsin reviewed about 1,000 names from the state's list of people that a court had declared incompetent to vote.
And 95 of them voted in 2020.
Erick Kaardal, Thomas More Society special counsel, has been at the forefront of the election integrity investigations from the project’s inception.
"What struck me was the sheer numbers," he explained. "When the allegations of shenanigans occurring in Wisconsin nursing homes surfaced with the 2020 election, the potential for nursing home and assisted living resident voter manipulation, abuse, and fraud, was massive in scale. There are over 91,000 nursing home residents in the State of Wisconsin. From forty to fifty percent of these residents suffer from varying degrees of dementia."

While the numbers in such cases likely would make no difference in a national election, what is known about that is that legacy and social media corporations worked together, at the FBI's request, to suppress accurate reporting about the Biden family's international business scheming, revealed on a computer Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop.
A Media Research Center poll showed had that information been routinely reported, Joe Biden almost certainly would have lost the election.
Further, there was the undue influence from the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg handed out through foundations to local officials, who often used it specifically to recruit voters from Democrat districts.
The legal team explained, "From the onset of Thomas More Society’s Election Integrity Initiative in 2022, there has been glaring evidence of an ongoing problem with ineligible voters casting ballots. This issue, which first came to light in nursing homes shortly after the 2020 election, has finally been acted upon by election officials in Dane County, Wisconsin.
"In spring 2022, attorneys from the Thomas More Society filed multiple complaints with the Wisconsin Election Commission on behalf of family members of people under court orders deeming them incompetent to vote. Each case involved a voter residing in a nursing home, who had been declared 'incompetent' yet, according to the state voter database WisVote, had cast ballots in multiple elections despite their ineligibility."
The organization said Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell did a review of about 1,000 names from the state’s list of people that a court had declared as incompetent to vote and found 95 examples of someone who voted after being added to the 'no vote' list."
"We are pleased that Dane County has acknowledged the problem, and we reiterate County Clerk Scott McDonell’s call for the Wisconsin legislature to fix a broken system – and ensure that the Wisconsin Election Commission does their job of enforcing the state’s election laws," Kaardal said.

Kari Lake bombshell: State supreme court reverses its own major decision
Orders hearing on signature verification issue
By Jack Davis, The Western Journal
Published May 5, 2023 at 5:40pm
Arizona’s Supreme Court delivered a slap on the wrist to Republican Kari Lake’s attorney on Thursday while demanding one of Lake’s core concerns finally get attention.
The good news-bad news ruling came as part of Lake’s effort to show that misconduct impacted the 2022 election for the governor of Arizona to the point where the victory of Democrat Katie Hobbs over Lake should be thrown out.
Although Lake has lost most of her court appeals, in March, Arizona’s Supreme Court directed a lower court to hold a hearing into Lake’s allegation that Maricopa County did not follow its signature verification process in the 2022 election.
That has not yet happened, but it will now.
As noted by Just the News, the court ordered on Thursday "that the trial court shall forthwith conduct such proceedings as appropriate to resolve" the allegations regarding signature verification.
In trying to cut to the core of the ruling, Rasmussen Reports tweeted, "Apparently upwards of 300,000 mail ballots in Maricopa County Arizona will now be checked for missing or mismatched signature issues in a race that has captured international attention and is divided by less than 15,000 'votes.'”
Arizona’s Supreme Court on Thursday also rejected a request from those Lake is suing to be recompensed for attorney’s fees.
As noted by Newsweek, Lake and her legal team were reprimanded for their choice of words by the court, which sanctioned her attorneys and imposed a $2,000 fine.
35,563 ballots she had claimed were added to Maricopa County's total votes cast. Lake had framed her contention as an "undisputed fact."
Arizona Chief Justice Robert Brutinel said on Thursday that the claim cannot be proven, and Lake's lawyers were in the wrong for violating state and court conduct rules that bar false statements.
"Not only is that allegation strongly disputed by the other parties, this Court concluded and expressly stated that the assertion was unsupported by the record, and nothing in Lake's Motion for Leave to file a motion for reconsideration provides reason to revisit that issue," the court order fining Lake’s lawyers $2,000 read.
"Although Lake may have permissibly argued that an inference could be made that some ballots were added, there is no evidence that 35,563 ballots were and, more to the point here, this was certainly disputed by the Respondents. The representation that this was an 'undisputed fact' is therefore unequivocally false,” the order read.
Brutinel said he accepts there is "attendant hyperbole" from political campaigns, "[b]ut once a contest enters the judicial arena, rules of attorney ethics apply,” according to Axios.
Kurt Olsen, one of Lake's two attorneys on the case, was not downcast at the ruling.
"We respectfully disagree with the Court’s holding but look forward to presenting our case at trial," he said.
Lake's contention is that because Maricopa County's signature verification process is flawed, the outcome of the election is tainted.
A report from Just the News indicates that the technology employed by Maricopa County might not be very effective at catching fraudulent signatures. The report said Maricopa County uses a service called Verus Pro that is part of the software offered by Runbeck Election Services, which has a contract with the county.
At that point, differences emerged. Maricopa County said signatures are verified using “calling, mailing, texting and emailing the voters.”
The site said it was told by a county representative: “Maricopa County does not use Verus Pro for signature verification.”
However, Just the News said former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright gave the site a copy of a contract effective last July between Maricopa County and Runbeck.

Assuming they can get a fair evaluation, she has won. If they review ballots but their equipment can’t detect fraud, then she loses everything.

Signature verification is the biggest point.
The rest... we'll have to wait and see!
