Federal government investigating potential noncitizen voters in Macomb County

[RandySF]

The Department of Homeland Security is conducting “an active investigation” of potential noncitizen voters in a swingy suburban Detroit county, according to a subpoena obtained by Votebeat.

Homeland Security Investigations sent the subpoena to Macomb County in January, days after County Clerk Anthony Forlini (R) said his team had discovered 15 potential noncitizens registered to vote.

The subpoena requested “all available information” on noncitizen voters from Macomb County in Michigan’s Qualified Voter File, the state’s official voter roll. The request includes applications to vote, “types of voting conducted,” and “any signed documents.”

Forlini told Votebeat on Wednesday that he hadn’t heard the results of any investigations related to what his office shared. When requests come in from other government entities, he said, they are routed through the county’s attorneys.

1. This is such a waste. Why would a non-citizen risk prison and deportation to

cast a vote? How would a non-citizen cast a vote if he/she is not registered and how could he/she register without proving he/she is a citizen?

2. Possible it's just someone with a common name as

someone legally registered.
