Election Integrity Activists Launch New Website To Clean Up Michigan’s Voter Rolls

Michigan’s leading Democrat election official has refused to remove ineligible voters from the state’s voter rolls, prompting election integrity activists to take matters into their own hands. Check My Vote (CMV), a network of “independent volunteer database experts and data analysts” working to ensure election integrity in Michigan, has launched a new website called checkmyvote.org. This website allows Michiganders to view their own voting histories and the registered voters in their area, free of charge. The website protects the secrecy of a person’s ballot while enabling residents and clerks to see how someone voted. Tim Vetter, co-developer and co-founder of checkmyvote.org, said, “Dirty voter rolls are a national security issue.”

Working alongside CMV is Michigan Fair Elections (MFE), a grassroots organization that is encouraging its volunteers throughout the state to use checkmyvote.org to identify potential irregularities in Michigan’s voter rolls. The website includes a “Clerk’s Dashboard” to assist in cleaning the state’s Qualified Voter File by monitoring existing and new registrations and flagging anomalies. Only Michigan law enforcement, municipal clerks, and “approved election integrity volunteers” will have access to the dashboard, however.

“Our goal is simple. We are helping to clean Michigan’s QVF and keep it clean,” said MFE Chair Patrice Johnson. “We have a right to fair elections and a civic duty to participate in the process.”

The launch of the CMV website comes following attempts by Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to dismiss legal efforts aimed at removing dead registrants from the state’s voter rolls. Despite a federal judge denying her attempt to dismiss the suit in August, Benson has continued to fight PILF’s suit in court.

It’s worth noting that Michigan is an active member of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), an organization with connections to Democrat activist David Becker that was “sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls.” In actuality, ERIC inflates voter rolls by requiring member states to contact eligible but unregistered residents to register to vote. Becker is also the founder of the Center Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), one of the two major nonprofits that funneled $419 million in grant funds from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to government election offices during the 2020 election. These “Zuckbucks” went overwhelmingly to the blue areas of swing states, funding Democratic GOTV efforts and tipping the election in then-candidate Joe Biden’s favor.
