You may very well be correct.

However, based upon what you describe, the initial flagging doesn't sound that suspect. She moved to Michigan from a bordering State, immediately registered and voted. That sequence of events can be evidence of a person establishing residency for the purpose of voting in a particular election, and then "disappearing" back to the State they actually live in. Several States reported this problem during the past two election cycles(we had people here in North Florida trying that crap in Georgia for the run-off). Obviously, your sister isn't involved in this kind of vote fraud scheme. But it is very possible that the timing of her move, where she came from and that she immediately registered to vote and voted was the reason she was "flagged for verification".

But yes, everyone should make sure they have the appropriate documents, are at the right place and that your registration is in order.
