🚨 NEW REPORT: MFEI PUBLISHES 720-PAGE INVESTIGATION INTO MICHIGAN ELECTION ADMINISTRATION

Today, Michigan Fair Elections Institute is publishing Michigan Election Issues 2020 and Ripple Effects, a 720-page, primary-source investigative report examining the administration of Michigan’s 2020 General Election and the issues that continue to impact election oversight through the 2026 election cycle.

Our report is organized into 15 findings examining:
🗳️ Voter roll maintenance
📦 Absentee ballot chain of custody
👀 Poll challenger access and election oversight
🖥️ Voting systems and canvass integrity
📋 Election-record retention
✈️ Overseas voting compliance
🔍 Third-party involvement and ballot evidence
🏛️ Executive and administrative oversight

The report draws from statutes, court rulings, sworn testimony, official records and FOIA-obtained documents. It also distinguishes between established fact, logical inference and conditional conclusions.

After nearly a year of volunteer research, audit and editorial work, we are publishing this report in full so that policymakers, journalists and the public can examine the evidence for themselves.

📄 A seven-page executive summary can be found on pages viii through xiv.

For 47 years, American families and brave warfighters - including friends of mine - have been asked to absorb brutal attack after brutal attack by an evil Iranian regime who wants all of us dead.

President Trump is the only president in my lifetime who refuses to kick this problem to another generation of American soldiers. There can be no equivocation with these murderous lunatics. It’s time to finish the job.

[Defender of the Republic 🇺🇸 @realdefender45]

I want people to understand the enormity of what has been done to us.

From day one the deep state has litigated its way into stopping the Trump administration at every turn, to date, there are over 900 lawsuits and counting.

Activist organizations, blue state AGs, and uniparty allies flooding the courts on borders, deportations, EOs, military policy, you name it.

This is straight color revolution tactics, American style: when Democrats lose at the ballot box, they weaponize institutions, courts, NGOs, activist judges, and use their billionaire funders to manufacture chaos, tie the elected President’s hands with endless injunctions, and grind the people’s mandate to a halt.

They Flood the system with lawsuits, get friendly judges to block policy after policy, bleed out momentum while the media cheers the “resistance.”

This is a classic playbook for undermining the people and the government from within without firing a shot.

🚨 AMERICANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

Most people are still viewing President Trump’s foreign policy through the old post-WW2 lens. That lens is obsolete. What P Trump is attempting is not a minor policy adjustment. It is a complete restructuring of the global economic and geopolitical order.

Read that again.

For 80 years, America operated under a “globalist” framework:
• America paid the bills
• America defended everyone
• America opened its markets
• America carried NATO
• America protected shipping lanes
• America subsidized allies
• America tolerated trade imbalances
• America exported democracy while factories disappeared and debt exploded at home

That system enriched multinational corporations, global institutions, foreign economies, and permanent bureaucracies.

But millions of Americans watched:

- manufacturing collapse
- wages stagnate
- communities hollow out
- endless wars drain trillions
- China rise into a superpower using America's own economic system against itself

President Trump is trying to replace that model with something entirely different:

👉 A transactional, America First economic coalition built around ENERGY, TRADE, SECURITY, MANUFACTURING, and STRATEGIC DEALS.

That Truth Social post about the Abraham Accords wasn’t just another statement. It was a blueprint.

If this succeeds, you are looking at the construction of a massive economic/security network that could include:

- The United States
- Saudi Arabia
- UAE
- Qatar
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Israel
- Pakistan
- Türkiye
- India
- parts of Latin America
- strategic Indo-Pacific partners
- and critically, a normalization framework with BOTH China and Russia where competition still exists, but catastrophic conflict is avoided through economic leverage, negotiated spheres of influence, energy coordination, and transactional diplomacy

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of President Trump’s geopolitical strategy.

Many Americans still think in Cold War terms:
America vs Russia.
America vs China.
Permanent hostility.
Permanent escalation.

But President Trump’s approach is far more transactional and realist.

Instead of trying to ideologically remake the world, the strategy appears focused on:

- preventing direct great-power war
- reducing the chance of nuclear escalation
- using trade leverage instead of permanent military occupation
- creating economic interdependence where possible
- forcing burden-sharing among allies
- and positioning America as the central negotiating power between rival blocs

That does NOT mean “surrendering” to China or Russia.

It means recognizing a reality many in Washington refused to accept for decades:
China is already an economic superpower.
Russia remains a military and energy superpower.

The question is no longer whether they exist as major powers.
The question is whether America can position itself at the center of a new balance of power that benefits Americans instead of endlessly draining American wealth trying to maintain a fading unipolar system.

This is why you are seeing:
• negotiations instead of immediate escalation
• energy diplomacy
• tariff wars instead of troop surges
• pressure campaigns tied to trade access
• selective partnerships instead of blind alliances
• attempts to split rival coalitions apart through deals

President Trump is essentially trying to create overlapping economic zones where America is no longer carrying the world for free - but instead sits at the center of the world’s most powerful deal-making network.

Combined economic power? Potentially $65-75+ TRILLION in GDP. Over HALF the global economy.

Think about what that means.

This is about:
✅ energy dominance
✅ shipping lanes
✅ critical minerals
✅ AI infrastructure
✅ manufacturing chains
✅ food security
✅ military positioning
✅ trade corridors
✅ investment flows
✅ currency leverage
✅ stabilizing relations between major powers where possible
✅ isolating hostile behavior through leverage instead of endless occupation wars

And younger Americans especially need to understand this part:

THIS DIRECTLY IMPACTS YOUR FUTURE.

If America remains trapped in the old system:

- debt keeps exploding
- jobs continue leaving
- housing becomes less affordable
- wages get crushed by global competition
- endless foreign entanglements continue
- America slowly declines like other aging empires

But if America successfully repositions itself at the center of a new energy/manufacturing/trade coalition:

- industrial jobs return
- energy prices stabilize
- strategic industries reshoring accelerates
- infrastructure investment increases
- supply chains become more secure
- America regains leverage instead of bleeding leverage

This is why you see such aggressive pushes around:
• tariffs
• domestic manufacturing
• energy independence
• critical minerals
• Middle East normalization
• India relations
• securing trade routes
• reducing dependency on hostile supply chains
• stabilizing great-power relations through leverage and economic pressure instead of permanent military escalation

This is not random.

This is an attempt to build a new geopolitical architecture for the next 50 years.

And whether people like President Trump or hate him personally is becoming irrelevant to the scale of what is unfolding.

The Abraham Accords themselves are historic because they shift the Middle East from perpetual religious/geopolitical conflict toward economic interdependence.

Peace through prosperity.
Trade instead of proxy wars.
Economic incentives instead of permanent instability.

That changes everything:

- investment floods in
- shipping stabilizes
- energy markets calm
- regional growth accelerates
- tourism expands
- infrastructure projects explode
- security cooperation increases

And if normalization frameworks eventually extend outward toward Russia and even portions of China’s economic system, you could be looking at the emergence of the largest interconnected economic balancing structure in modern history.

Not a utopia.
Not permanent peace.
Not the end of competition.

But a system where economic incentives and strategic leverage become more powerful than endless military occupations and ideological crusades.

The old order was based on permanent management of conflict.

This new model attempts to monetize stability.

Will it fully work? Nobody knows yet. There are enormous risks, contradictions, and power struggles involved. Traditional allies are nervous. Global institutions hate it. Rival powers are cautious. Some countries will resist. Others will attempt to manipulate it.

But Americans should at least understand the scale of the play being attempted here.

This is not “normal politics.”
This is a potential civilizational realignment.

And if younger Americans do not start paying attention to economics, geopolitics, energy, trade, manufacturing, and global power shifts now - they are going to inherit a world they do not understand.

Read. Research. Think critically.
And SHARE this so more Americans understand what may be unfolding in real time.

If you watch one Charlie Kirk video today, watch this:

We don’t need to guess what Charlie wanted his legacy to be…
He told us clearly.
Charlie did not fear death.
He feared a life without Christ.
Charlie’s family and work were an extension of his walk with Jesus.
To viciously attack Charlie’s widow and and organization after his death is a direct attack on Charlie himself.
It’s the opposite of what any real ‘friend’ of Charlie Kirk would do.
Please watch to hear Charlie…

‼️Detroit Clerk Janice Winfrey claims there were "no long lines or lengthy waiting periods" in Detroit during the November 2024 election and dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's concerns as "thin gruel."

If there were no long lines, what are Detroit voters standing in?

And where was the journalism?

The Detroit News could have easily found videos like this before repeating the clerk's claims. Good reporting should test official statements against the facts, especially on an issue as important as election administration.

Watch the video. Compare it to the clerk's statement. Then decide for yourself whether the public received the full story. @TheJusticeDept @AAGDhillon @detroitnews @winfrey_janice @CivilRights

Could election reform actually earn bipartisan support? 🤝🗳️

A proposal in the Michigan House aims to close a potential conflict of interest by preventing members of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission from running for partisan office while the maps they helped create are still in use.

During committee testimony, lawmakers from both parties acknowledged the concern and expressed openness to the proposal's intent.

One group stood alone in opposing the resolution: Voters Not Politicians.

Will bipartisan agreement hold when it's time to vote?

⚖️ The Sixth Circuit has confirmed that Michigan's Qualified Voter File (QVF) is subject to federal election oversight under Title III of the Civil Rights Act.

While the court ruled that the Department of Justice's request for Michigan's entire unredacted voter database exceeded what Congress authorized, it also rejected the argument that Michigan's voter records are beyond federal review.

In other words:
✅ Election records can be subject to federal oversight.
✅ Voter privacy protections still matter.
✅ Transparency and privacy can coexist.

As MFEI Chair Patrice Johnson @PatriceEi4me noted, asking questions about election administration is not a threat to democracy. Accountability, transparency and lawful oversight are fundamental principles of our constitutional republic.

This ruling is likely to have significant implications for future disputes involving voter records, voter roll maintenance and election transparency.

📢 ELECTION INTEGRITY UPDATE: HB 5845 ADVANCES OUT OF COMMITTEE

Today, Michigan House Bill 5845 passed out of the House Election Integrity Committee on a vote of 5-2-1 and now moves to the full House for consideration.

So what does this bill actually do and why does it matter?

HB 5845 would require electronic poll book (EPB) flash drives to be retained for at least 22 months after an election. Michigan law already requires ballots, poll books, absentee voter records, applications and many other election materials to be preserved for that period. However, the law does not currently explicitly require the retention of electronic poll book flash drives. This bill closes that gap.

An electronic poll book is the computer system election workers use at polling locations to:
✅ Check in voters
✅ Verify voter registration status
✅ Record who has voted
✅ Track absentee ballot activity
✅ Generate election-day reports

The flash drives associated with these systems can contain important election information, including voter check-in data, election-day activity logs and records that may be useful during audits, investigations, recounts or election reviews.

Why is this issue being discussed now?

In December 2020, the Michigan Bureau of Elections, which operates under Secretary Jocelyn Benson, issued guidance directing that electronic poll book software and associated files be deleted from devices by the seventh day after final canvass and certification unless otherwise required. Since then, election integrity advocates have argued that these electronic records should be preserved for the same 22-month period required for many other election records.

Some have asked, "Don't we already have printed records?"

Yes. At the end of Election Day, election workers typically print reports showing:
• Voter check-in lists
• Total voter counts
• Absentee ballot statistics
• Reconciliation reports
• Other required election documentation

However, electronic records may contain information that does not appear on printed reports, including:
• Detailed transaction logs
• Time stamps for voter check-ins
• User activity logs
• Records of corrections or updates made during Election Day
• Error messages and system events
• Audit trail information showing who performed specific actions
• Other metadata not included in printed reports

Retaining both paper and electronic records provides a more complete audit trail, allows records to be cross-checked if questions arise and ensures important election data remains available for review.

Transparency, accountability and preserving election records are essential to maintaining public confidence in our elections.

Why does voting matter? Because education policy, parental rights, government power, and the future of our republic are all on the ballot this November.

Michigan voters will help decide seats on the State Board of Education and university boards at U-M, MSU, and Wayne State, positions that directly influence the direction of education policy in our state.

Our latest article examines:
• Declining academic outcomes in Michigan schools
• The growing tension between parental rights and government control
• School safety concerns
• Accountability in education
• Why informed and engaged citizens are essential to protecting liberty

HUGE ELECTION INTEGRITY VICTORY! Gov. Whitmer-Appointed Judge Forces Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to Stop Hiding Critical Voting Data from the Public

READ: https://t.co/UDKrWrT0Hg

[Michigan Fair Elections Institute @mifairelections]

HB 5845 was brought forward this week in the Michigan House Election Integrity Committee after a clear exchange over its purpose.

The bill requires election officials to preserve electronic poll book flash drive data for at least 22 months. Ensuring records are available for audits, recounts and public transparency.

Rep. Jennifer Wortz laid out why preserving electronic poll book data matters.

The bill advanced with bipartisan support.

Notably, Rep. Mai Xiong was the only member who did not vote yes.

[Election Integrity Network @EIwatchdogs]

Too many senators are comfortable with the status quo.
Comfortable with outdated voter rolls.
Comfortable with no real verification of who’s voting in federal elections.

But the status quo is not good enough for the American people.

We deserve elections that are secure for American citizens only.

Why won't the Senate deliver?

A major court battle over election authority is unfolding in Michigan.

Today at 1 PM, the case against former Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott returns to Hillsdale Circuit Court and it could redefine what elected clerks are allowed to do.

At stake:
• Can a clerk investigate voter irregularities under the law?
• What counts as a “lawful order” from the state?
• Can exercising independent judgment lead to criminal charges?

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is pushing forward with felony charges, while Scott argues she was fulfilling her legal duty to preserve records and investigate discrepancies.
One charge has already been dismissed. Four felonies remain.

This hearing will decide:
✔ Whether the case moves forward
✔ Whether key defense witnesses can testify

The courtroom is open to the public.
This isn’t just one case, it’s about the balance of power between state officials and locally elected clerks.

📍 Hillsdale Circuit Court
🕐 1 PM today

Watch closely. The outcome could have statewide implications.
