Elon Musk's Claims of Michigan Voter Fraud Debunked by State Officials

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson refutes Musk's allegations, emphasizing the legality of inactive voter records.

  • Elon Musk alleged that Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens, suggesting potential election fraud.
  • Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson clarified that the discrepancy is due to 1.2 million inactive voter records, which are legally maintained on the rolls.
  • Inactive voters are those who have not voted in six years or responded to residency confirmation notices, yet remain eligible to vote.
  • Federal and state laws require a waiting period of two federal election cycles before removing inactive voters from the rolls.
  • A recent lawsuit challenging Michigan's voter registration practices was dismissed due to lack of legal standing.
