Benson releases findings of Macomb County voter investigation
Michigan’s Secretary of State released the findings of her investigation Thursday into claims of noncitizens being registered to vote in Macomb County.
Of the 15 cases the department looked into, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said three were citizens. Four more already had their registration canceled. The state is waiting to get more information on the other eight to verify their statuses.
Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini first raised concerns about the voter registrations after some residents refused jury duty, claiming they weren’t citizens. In a press conference earlier this month, Forlini said he was letting the Macomb County corporation counsel Frank Krycia handle the information.
That led to the involvement, he said, of various law enforcement agencies, though Forlini has so far declined to say which ones, saying he doesn’t want to interfere with any investigation.
