Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is urging people to report so-called “misinformation” from their relatives ahead of November’s vote.
” Misinformation about the election process, voting right, or even an issue on the ballot is a major threat to vote surveillance”, reads an online document from Benson’s business. Please report misleading or false information you find about Michigan elections or voting.
The report calls people email accounts of election “misinformation” – with” an picture if achievable” – to [email protected]. Benson’s business solicits occupants to report propaganda on its “voter training resources” site.
The Federalist asked Benson’s company who this email reaches and how the condition responds to admitted “misinformation”, but her company did not comment in period for publication.  ,
Benson’s business published another report discussing this so-called vote “misinformation”, calling it” the most likely harmful threat to our democracy”. It blamed “partisans, grifters, and another exploiters here at house” for “hacking the heads of American people”, and called on residents to maintain the standard tale.
Citizens can and should visit this work, the report states,” calling out propaganda when they see it and demanding that we hold people responsible for spreading lies about votes.”
For” trusted” information, Benson’s office information.pdf?rev=078a8ecdc8cc4d67acb0c774e4e3e82f&hash=E1078EC3435D64D3CF1F9EB0C9F3474C” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>refers residents to its own “fact check” page, FactCheck. org, PolitiFact, and Snopes. The last three have come out against the left in favor of information security.
Benson, a Democrat, launched a” Democracy Ambassador” program for residents last week, according to a press release. The state sends supposedly “nonpartisan facts and resources” to residents who join, and it encourages them to share these approved messages “within their communities” where they will” combat any election-related misinformation”.
Participants will” squash misinformation before it spreads”, Benson said in the press release.
The state’s” Democracy Ambassador” webpage says the program consists of three steps: sign up to receive approved information, share that information, and sign up to be a poll worker.  ,
In her campaign to “eliminate misinformation from social media platforms,” Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel addressed journalists last month.
Meanwhile, Benson has come under fire recently for a host of election integrity failures.
Under “voting initiatives and resources”, Benson’s office directs residents to Vote411 – which, as The Federalist previously reported, feeds voter information to a leftist data harvesting scheme. The Federalist asked Benson’s office for comment on Vote411’s alleged data harvesting, but her office did not comment in time for publication.  ,
Monday at a press conference, Benson also hosted Center for Election Innovation and Research’s David Becker. Alongside the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which gave at least$ 328 million in” Zuckbucks” in 2020, CEIR funneled$ 70 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to local election agencies, advancing voting practices that favor the left.  ,
A manual was distributed by Benson in December of last year reminding clerks that absentee ballot signatures had a “presumption of unconstitutional/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>validity.” In a final decision on Tuesday, a judge in Michigan determined that the guidance was unconstitutional.
The Republican National Committee claimed that she failed to clean the 92, 000 inactive registrants ‘ voter rolls in a May demand letter to Benson.
The staff writer for election integrity is Logan Washburn. He graduated from Hillsdale College, served as Christopher Rufo’s editorial assistant, and has bylines in The Wall Street Journal, The Tennessean, and The Daily Caller. Logan was born and raised in rural Michigan, but he is primarily from Central Oregon.
