Just like Gretchen Whitmer, Jocelyn Benson is a liar and a cheater. Michigan is one of the most cheated states in the USA. But times are changing, and the cheating Democrats are being exposed and sent to prison.
The Midwesterner:
“There is no evidence that noncitizens are voting,” Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson told Congress in September.
On Thursday, Benson announced that a total of at least 15 incidents of illegal voting occurred in Michigan during the 2024 General Election, based on a cross reference between Michigan motor vehicle records and the state’s Qualified Voter File. READ MORE

Michigan does not strictly require a photo ID to vote, though it has a voter identification process in place that includes an alternative for those without ID. When voting in person, Michigan law asks voters to present a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, U.S. passport, or other accepted forms like a student ID or tribal ID with a photo. However, if a voter does not have an acceptable photo ID or forgets to bring it to the polls, they can still vote by signing an affidavit. This affidavit is a sworn statement where the voter confirms their identity and attests that they are not in possession of a photo ID. Once signed, their ballot is cast and counted like any other on Election Day—no provisional ballot or follow-up is required.
This system stems from Michigan Election Law (MCL 168.523), which mandates that voters identify themselves but allows the affidavit option as an exception. The law’s flexibility was upheld by the Michigan Supreme Court in 2007, balancing voter access with identification requirements. Critics argue this makes the process less secure, as it relies on self-attestation without further verification at the polling place.
For mail-in voting, most voters don’t need to provide ID either. When requesting an absentee ballot, a voter typically provides a signature, which is compared to the one on file in the voter registration record. First-time voters who registered by mail or through a drive without submitting ID (like a driver’s license number or Social Security number) must include a copy of a photo ID or a document like a utility bill with their ballot. But for voters already in the system, no additional ID is needed—just the signature match.
Registration also doesn’t strictly require a photo ID. Online registration needs a Michigan driver’s license or state ID number, but by mail or in person, voters can use the last four digits of their Social Security number or, within 14 days of an election, provide proof of residency like a utility bill if registering in person. No citizenship check beyond self-attestation occurs at registration, though the state conducts periodic voter roll maintenance.
In practice, this means Michigan’s system prioritizes accessibility over strict ID enforcement. In 2020, about 11,400 voters—out of 5.6 million—used the affidavit option, a tiny fraction, suggesting most bring ID anyway.
Michigan’s elections are NOT secure.
