However, nonpartisan nonprofit Election Integrity Force (EIF) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/discrepancies-and-irregularities-still-plague-michigan-election-practices\/\" title=\"Michigan Elections Plagued by Discrepancies and Irregularities.\">pursuing meaningful election reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>EIF&#8217;s Efforts<\/h3>\n<p>EIF is actively recruiting and training poll workers and watchers to put more eyes on the election process. Additionally, the organization is asking citizens to file criminal complaints against the Michigan Secretary of State&#8217;s office and the Michigan Bureau of Elections for allegedly altering voter registration and voter history records in violation of the law.<\/p>\n<h2>Problems Persist<\/h2>\n<p>A little-publicized partial recount by EIF of the results of two 2022 statewide ballot proposals, Proposal 2 and Proposal 3, surfaced recently, showing that serious irregularities continue to bedevil election administration in Michigan.<\/p>\n<h3>Recount Results<\/h3>\n<p>Recount participant Braden Giacobazzi told The Epoch Times in a May 31 interview that &#8220;we could do neither [verify the accuracy of the original vote count nor verify that all procedures and processes were conducted lawfully], and nothing has been done to fix it.&#8221; The group discovered that 59 percent of the precincts where it looked at the results of Proposal 3 were either uncountable or the recounted totals did not match the original official vote totals. During the recount of the results of Proposal 2, EIF recount challengers found that 70 percent of those precincts were either uncountable or had recounted vote totals that did not match the original official totals.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Hurdles<\/h3>\n<p>EIF has over 20 good election integrity lawsuits it could take to court, but the group has been hindered by a lack of money. Even if they had the money, there is a lack of attorneys willing to represent them because of fear of retribution. Local officials tell them to take their complaints to the Attorney General, who is the lawyer for the Secretary of State&#8217;s office and the Bureau of Elections. Activist Scott Aughney suggests using local law enforcement, county prosecutors, and citizen grand juries to go after state election officials for violating the law.<\/p>\n<h2>Discrepancies Abound<\/h2>\n<p>Many voters will be amazed to learn that their local voting records don&#8217;t match up with the state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-democrats-h-r-1-is-a-power-grab-would-undermine-states-election-rules\/\" title=\"Republicans: Democrats\u2019 H.R. 1 Is a Power Grab, Would Undermine States\u2019 Election Rules\">voter registration list<\/a>.
