On July 21, 2025, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, demanded that Michigan’s crooked Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson turn over Michigan’s full, unredacted Qualified Voter File — not the public list, but the files with dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.

Instead of complying, the former Southern Poverty Law Center Board member and current Democrat candidate for Michigan governor, mailed the stripped-down public version and kept the rest. On September 25, 2025, the DOJ sued Benson, and then on February 10, 2026, a federal judge dismissed the case. On June 24 the Sixth Circuit agreed. On August 14 the full appeals court refused to rehear the case. Benson still has not produced the unredacted rolls.

Benson claimed she refused to turn over the voter rolls because wants to protect the voters “privacy,” by not sharing the social security numbers assigned by the federal government. On July 7, 2026 — after the Sixth Circuit loss — Dhillon warned Benson in writing that knowingly leaving noncitizens on the statewide list, sending them ballots, and counting those ballots can be a federal crime, and gave her five days to explain how Michigan would comply.

Benson’s office answered that the state already exceeds NVRA (National Voter Registration Act of 1993) rules, which I can personally attest is false. Time and time again, Phani Mantravadi’s investigators at Check My Vote have provided the Gateway Pundit with shocking details on Michigan’s voter rolls that reveal dead voters, registered voters over the age of the oldest recorded living American, duplicate and triplicate voters and voters who haven’t lived in Michigan for years and even decades.

In May, the Gateway Pundit revealed SIX non-citizens on the DHS Worst of the Worst Criminal Aliens list were on Michigan’s QVF (Qualified Voter Files) and that two of them actually voted in multiple elections.

EXCLUSIVE: Stunning Report — 6 Non-Citizens on DHS “Worst of the Worst Criminal Aliens” List Are Registered Voters in Michigan — 2 Voted in Multiple Elections

Last week, two brave Michigan clerks stepped forward and each recorded themselves asking for help from the federal government to remove non-citizens from their voter rolls, after Barry County, Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf released a statement from a whistleblower inside the Michigan Secretary of State’s office who warned that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s election software is programmed to automatically register non-citizens—including illegal aliens—to vote whenever they update or move their addresses!

Sheriff Leaf explained, “The feature is hardwired into the system. Local clerks have zero ability to override or block it.
Even worse, clerks are locked out of any meaningful way to verify or determine a voter’s citizenship status.”

He was very clear about the serious nature of the whistleblower report: “This isn’t a glitch. It’s built into the software itself—leaving Michigan’s voter rolls wide open to ineligible registrants every time an address changes.”

And now, Benson wants Michigan residents to choose her as their next governor!

The first clerk to speak out and ask for help from the federal government to remove non-citizens from his township’s voter rolls was David Olson of Hastings Township:

The next Michigan clerk to courageously request that the feds to come to her office and removed non-citizens from her voter rolls was Climax Township Clerk Sarah DeBoer:

More clerks across the nation need to take a stand for U.S. citizens who don’t want to see their votes canceled out by someone who isn’t even a U.S. citizen and is voting in a federal election.

Only moments ago, Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon put clerks across the nation on notice—letting them know that if they “knowingly allow non-citizens to vote in elections that they are committing a federal crime” and that the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice “will prosecute.”

Calling all state officials! If you knowingly allow non-citizens to vote in elections, you are committing a federal crime, & the @CivilRightsDivision @theJusticeDept will prosecute. One non-citizen vote is one too many! Voters deserve confidence in our elections.

In her interview with GB News, Asst. AG Dhillon explained that non-citizens voting in elections is a crime and said that after she sent a letter to all top officials in the United States reminding them that they were committing a crime if they knowingly allow non-citizens to vote in a federal election. The New Jersey governor suddenly removed thousands of non-citizens from New Jersey’s voter rolls.

“One vote makes a difference in a democracy” she reminded the interviewer. When the GB News host attempted to discredit her concerns about non-citizens votes affecting the outcome of an election, suggesting the number of non-citizens voting in elections isn’t significant enough to make a difference, Dhillon shot back with the perfect response, “You can ask Al Gore if he thinks a few votes makes a difference.”

Asst. AG Dhillon’s warning should bring more clerks forward in states like Michigan, where the secretary of state’s goal is to keep the voter rolls as dirty as possible, and get them to ask for help removing non-citizens before it’s too late.
