Republican National Committee Finds More Registered Voters Than Eligible Voters in Michigan

Now, nearly four years later, another presidential election is right around the corner with the same two candidates. The Republican National Committee is still on the lookout for potential voter fraud, and they believe they’ve found it in Michigan.

That means, at this point in time, their main goal is getting Donald Trump back in the Oval Office. In addition to running his campaign, the RNC has also been searching for possible threats to the president, including voter fraud.

Since collecting their data, the RNC has since filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, claiming that she has not complied with the county’s National Voter Registration Act.

The NVRA was passed in 1993 by then-President Bill Clinton. It “sets forth certain voter registration requirements with respect to elections for federal office.” It includes several regulations, including the instruction that “States [must] implement procedures to maintain accurate and current voter registration lists.”

The lawsuit also notes that in several counties, the voter registration rate exceeds 90% of the population of eligible adults, which is extremely uncommon throughout the country.

Counting voter registrations can be confusing as many Americans don’t change their registration after moving. And since some 25.6 million Americans moved in 2023, it’s possible that the excess of voters in Michigan has more to do with registration mistakes and less to do with intentional voter fraud.

Essentially, they report that Michigan’s voter registrations do not meet the standards of the NVRA and that the state should immediately be investigated. So, while they are certainly looking for voter fraud, that’s not the argument the RNC will make in court.

The Secretary of State said in a recent press release, “Let’s call this what it is: a PR campaign masquerading as a meritless lawsuit filled with baseless accusations that seek to diminish people’s faith in the security of our elections. Shame on anyone who abuses the legal process to sow seeds of doubt in our democracy.”

Benson told the press that they had already removed over 700,000 voters who have since moved or passed away and that the state is exceptionally dedicated to voter security for this election in particular.

Whoever wants to be president of the United States in six months will absolutely need the state of Michigan to swing their way. Therefore, this lawsuit could be incredibly influential on who is elected in November.

The RNC has also filed a similar lawsuit against the state of Nevada, claiming that, once again, the number of registered voters exceeds that of eligible adults throughout the state.

The sad truth is that, for the first time in history, America’s electoral integrity is in question. Many Americans already question whether their vote actually matters, but now, they’re starting to wonder if it will even be counted at all.
