Michigan information analyst skilled Tim Vetter of DEEP (Information Analysis of Election Processes) has been uncovering the illegal manipulation of Michigan’s voter rolls because the 2020 election.
Vetter, a extremely regarded information analyst and Manufacturing Tools Engineer, has devoted a whole bunch if not 1000’s of hours to scouring Michigan’s voter rolls, searching for clues to assist higher perceive why they’re such a catastrophe.
On Friday, Mr. Vetter known as to tell me that he had found that Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson’s BOE (Board of Elections)
has didn’t report 35,002 voter historical past information from two separate 2024 particular elections in Michigan.
On January 30, 2024, a particular major election was held in Michigan’s thirteenth District to switch Democrat Rep. Lori M. Stone, who resigned after she received the election because the mayor of town of Warren in Michigan’s twenty fifth District.
A particular election was additionally ordered after Democrat State Rep. Kevin Coleman resigned after being elected as Westland’s mayor.
The particular election to switch the 2 Michigan Representatives with the winners of the first election befell on April 16, 2024.
Democrat candidate Mai Xiong received the District 13 race, whereas Democrat Peter Herzberg received his race to switch the Democrat state consultant in District 25.
On the floor, every part about these particular elections seems to be pretty innocuous — two Democrat candidates exchange two former Democrat MI State representatives. If each races, which, in accordance with the vote totals, yielded largely anticipated wins for each Democrat candidates, then why, Vetter asks, did Michigan’s BOE fail to report the vote historical past information for over 35K voters for the final 4 months?
Vetter, who has been analyzing Michigan’s voter rolls for years, determined to do a take a look at run on the particular election outcomes to see if the QVF “Certified Voter File” held by the native clerks (known as the “Supply QVF” by Vetter) matched the voter histories recorded by MI SOS Benson’s BOE (known as the “Altered QVF” by Vetter).
To conduct this take a look at run, Mr. Vetter despatched 10 pattern voter IDs to his native clerk. When he obtained the pattern again, he tried to find out if these 10 voters’ vote histories within the “Supply QVF” matched as much as the vote histories within the MI SOS’s December 2024 “Altered QVF.”
In keeping with Vetter, the particular election vote historical past information for all 10 pattern IDs are lacking from the altered information supplied by Benson’s BOE. In keeping with MI regulation, MCL168.932(c) – the BOE can’t “fraudulently make any entry, erasure, or alteration” with vote historical past information. Additonally, in accordance with MCL168.509q(1)(f) – Voters should include “Voting historical past for a 5-year interval.”
Watch:
Vetter informed us the altered voter rolls on the State degree are nothing new. “We’ve by no means reviewed an correct listing of voters within the vote historical past information from Jocelyn Benson’s BOE,” Vetter mentioned, including, “They might repair this at the moment in the event that they wished. All they need to do is publish an correct listing of voters, after county certification, and lock down their voter historical past information.”
Tim Vetter questions why the BOE has but to repair Michigan’s “Altered QVF,” with bloated voter rolls and altered vote historical past information. He defined that “Bloated voter registrations open the door to dishonest in our elections, and altered vote historical past information make auditing any election practically unimaginable.”
Vetter’s declare that the voter rolls are being altered on the state degree is supported by a response to one in every of his FOIA (Freedom of Data Act) requests by the BOE’s FOIA coordinator, who admits they’re altering the vote histories of MI voters.
