WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Peter Meijer (R-MI) this week joined the Michigan Congressional Delegation Republicans in sending a letter to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson requesting clarification of the processes currently in place for future elections and urging voter roll clean-up.
Rep. Meijer released the following statement:
“During this time when our political discourse is incredibly fraught and divisive, it is more important than ever that the American people have faith in our democracy. This starts with protecting our fair, free, safe, and secure elections. We must ensure that our voter lists are properly maintained and that only eligible voters can participate in future elections. I look forward to learning about Secretary Benson’s plans to uphold this important responsibility in Michigan.”
Excerpt from the letter:
“Similar to the request made by Ranking Member Davis, please respond with a description of the processes you have in place to certify that only lawful ballots are cast and counted, including a detailed explanation of the processes that were in place for authenticating ballots in the 2020 election. Regarding the 2020 election specifically, please also respond detailing the processes that were in place at that time for removing deceased and ineligible individuals from Michigan’s voter registration rolls. Lastly, please detail any changes you will make to your office’s processes moving forward to guarantee that the voter registration rolls are regularly updated, specifically the removal of deceased individuals.”
