Overview
- Anthony Forlini reported that 239 noncitizen driver’s-license holders were included in the 16th Judicial Circuit Court jury pool over four months.
- His office said at least 14 of those individuals had voter-registration records and that one appears to have voted multiple times, characterizing the findings as potential felonies.
- The Michigan Secretary of State emphasized that only citizens can vote, that jury pools are drawn from driver databases rather than the voter file, and asked the clerk to refer any cases for investigation.
- Republican figures, including former Secretary of State Candice Miller and State Rep. Joe Aragona, urged legislative oversight, while Rep. John James criticized Secretary Jocelyn Benson.
- No prosecutions or confirmed adjudications have been announced, and state officials have not verified the clerk’s claims beyond inviting formal review.
