TGP\u2019s Jim Hoft and Check My Vote founder Phani Mantravadi on Jocelyn Benson\u2019s latest targeting of his voter roll cleanup group.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Corrupt Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is pushing new election rules, that were not approved by the state legislature, to make it easier for politicians to cheat in the Wolverine state in upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

This is Benson\u2019s latest obvious effort to make elections less secure in her state.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Benson has lost AT LEAST NINE lawsuits<\/a> in the state pushing illegal tactics to make it easier for Democrats to cheat in the state.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In her latest attempts to make elections less secure in this battleground state, Benson is making it nearly impossible for the election integrity group Check My Vote<\/a> to operate in the state and to continue to clean up the voter rolls in the statea.<\/p>\n

Jocelyn Benson currently waged a war against the election integrity group Check My Vote<\/a> and its founder Phani Mantravadi.<\/p>\n

Phani described the current assault on his organization.<\/p>\n

1) \u2018Jocelying\u2019 Benson doesn\u2019t want Michiganders to know the real reason behind how 125,428 excess votes got cast in the Nov 2024 election per the Oct 28, 2024 daily absentee report and what exactly the glitch was. The latest explanation offered by her office doesn\u2019t hold water.<\/p>\n

(2) \u2018Jocelying\u2019 Benson doesn\u2019t want Michiganders to know that vote counts from statewide QVF don\u2019t reconcile with vote counts from county QVF from what little we\u2019ve been able to see, until the SOS prohibited release of voter data from local counties. Why is she preventing release of voter lists from counties and voter data from e-pollbooks?<\/p>\n

(3) \u2018Jocelying\u2019 Benson wants Michiganders to think that voter roll maintenance is top-notch under her administration, with an occasional \u201cglitch\u201d. She wants Michiganders to think that the problems being exposed are due to misadministration by local clerks.<\/p>\n

However, the mountain of problems in the voter rolls discovered so far compounded with the pattern of \u201cglitches\u201d suggests that there might be something more sinister and intentional.<\/p>\n

After all, if she really wants to address the problems being brought to light and the problems arose due to mis-administration as she claims; one would think she would welcome solutions such as CheckMyVote.org and all the free work that citizen volunteers are doing.<\/p>\n

Why won\u2019t she accept that help?<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t want Michiganders to know that her intent is to maintain the status quo of systemic election corruption while sometimes hiding behind excuses such as \u201cglitch\u201d; and at other times intimidating citizens and entities who only want to help restore accuracy in voter rolls and transparency in elections.<\/p>\n

The voter roll files are huge and are supposed to be formatted a certain way for my program to be able to process them automatically without my intervention.<\/p>\n

However, the files arrive malformed on occasion and that creates extra work for me.<\/p>\n

Most recently they removed the voting method data field that resulted in me having to re-write a lot of code to make the website still work as before.<\/p>\n

The absentee report file format has been changed drastically and uglified effective Nov 2024 election. I spent weeks rewriting my code to suit their seemingly whimsical format changes under the guise of \u201ctransparency\u201d; when in reality there\u2019s key data fields missing in the new reports.<\/p>\n

Sometimes there are special non-ascii characters inserted into the file that breaks my program.<\/p>\n

I was just going through the EAC best practices manual and it states in there that voter roll maintenance may use 3rd party data and community organizations to aid list maintenance.<\/p>\n

Question is why is the SOS going against that?<\/p>\n

On Thursday night The Gateway Pundit\u2019s Jim Hoft spoke with Phani Mantravadi before a hearing on Friday to discuss her latest lawless actions.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Fair Elections Institute reported on the hearing on Friday at 9:30 AM. in Lansing, Michigan.<\/p>\n

\n

Beginning at 9:30 a.m.,<\/strong> Michiganders are allowed to make public comment on 12 administrative rules (R 168.251-168.262) that would impact Michigan election administration in the following ways:<\/p>\n

Label effective research tools like Ancestry.com, Findagrave.com, and CheckMyVote.org as \u201cunreliable sources\u201d of information for voter roll clean-up purposes<\/p>\n

Require expensive and time-consuming standards such as notarized affidavits for EACH challenged voter registration and certified mail requirements on other actions.<\/p>\n

Expand preferential treatment for overseas military personnel to all overseas voters, 83% of whom are non-military.<\/p>\n

Diminishes clerk efficiency requiring a two-year \u201cwaiting period\u201d to implement certain changes vs the faster 30-day challenge timeline.<\/p>\n

Creates broadly-written anti-harassment provisions with the potential to label any systematic challenge effort as \u201charassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese rules handcuff the clerks and create a bureaucratic quagmire,\u201d says MFEI Founder and Chair Patrice Johnson.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

TGP\u2019s Jim Hoft interviewed Phani Mantravadi on Thursday about Benson\u2019s latest attempts to ban his voter roll cleanup group from the state.<\/p>\n\n
