| Ruth Johnson would like you to know that she's going to ask probing, redundant questions when you try to vote in November because the odd Canuck might otherwise slip through the cracks. A report released by Michigan Election Coalition after the August primary found 38 percent of calls to voter election hotlines were related to the box. Some voters, the coalition said, were required to check the box in order to receive a ballot, while others encountered a challenge. The secretary of state office said the check-off box has prevented noncitizens from voting and cited the example of a Canadian national living in Livingston County's Genoa Township, who regularly voted during the past decade and didn't know he could not cast a ballot until checking the "no" box in February.
At I believe three, there were more people denied a legal ballot because of this question than there were wrongful voters caught, if her one Canadian is the best she can do. And, by the way, why was this person given a voter card in the first place, since you have to affirm your citizenship during registration (and, really, did this person actually even exist?)? Meanwhile, where is the Secretary of State's office on issues of genuine election fraud. You know, the ones perpetrated by elected officials in her own party? |
