Michigan’s Bureau of Elections (BOE) Audit finds Problems with the Voter File, Training, and Campaign Finance Oversight.
The BOE Failed to Properly Safeguard the State’s File of 7.5 Million Qualified Voters, a Discrepancy that Allowed an Unauthorized User to Access the File and Increased the Risk of an Ineligible Elector Voting in Michigan, according to a Recent Report from the Office of Auditor General.
Elections Officials lack Proper Training in more than 14% of Counties, Cities and Townships.
The Bureau did Not make timely Reviews of Campaign Statements, Lobby Reports, and Campaign Finance Complaints.
The Audit conducted between Oct. 1st, 2016, and April 30th, 2019, found in the Qualified Voter File 230 Registered Electors who had an Age that was Greater than 122 years, the Oldest Officially Documented Persons to ever Live, according to the Report.
The Report comes 2 1/2 months before the State’s March 10th Presidential Primary and a little over 10 months before Michigan Voters Cast Ballots in the November General Election.
The Reviewed Information fell largely under the Tenure of Republican Former Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson.
Democratic Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, took office Jan. 1st, 2019.
