Michigan Voter Rolls Include Over 2,500 People Aged 110+

1 min read

A new complaint filed under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) alleges that Michigan’s voter rolls include nearly 2,500 registrants who are at least 110 years old. The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed the complaint late last month, accusing Michigan officials of failing to remove these individuals from the rolls despite clear evidence of their age.

The complaint specifically names 2,461 registrants with birth years listed as at least 110 years old, with 47 of these having birth years in the 1800s. One registrant’s birth year is listed as 1823, which is 14 years before Michigan became a state. PILF lawyers had previously raised concerns about this individual in 2019, but the registrant remains on the rolls.

“The continued presence of a voter listed as born in 1823 is inexcusable,” said PILF President J. Christian Adams in a statement. “The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an outside, third-party group, should not have had to raise this issue with Secretary [Jocelyn] Benson twice. Its persistence reflects a failure to maintain Michigan’s voter rolls,” Adams added.

The complaint also highlights nearly 2,000 duplicate voter registrations and almost 500 registrants with fictitious birth years. Adams emphasized that Michigan voters deserve clean and accurate voter rolls, and he noted that Secretary Benson should have addressed the issue over seven years ago when it was first flagged.

The allegations raise serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of Michigan’s voter registration system. With the upcoming elections, ensuring that voter rolls are free from errors is critical to maintaining public trust in the democratic process.
