Why is Michigan fighting to keep the dead on voter roles?

Court Fight Over Dead People on Voter Lists Heats Up in Michigan

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) on Nov. 3 sued Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, for allegedly failing to remove from the state’s voter rolls the names of 26,000 registered voters who have either died or moved away.

According to PILF President J. Christian Adams, the failure to remove the names “creates an opportunity for fraud.”

The lawsuit also alleges that 334 people registered to vote after they died, with 15 of those registrations occurring in 2020.

Benson’s office said they do not comment on pending litigation.

However, Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for Benson, told Fox News, “Michigan maintains its voter registration list in accordance with all state and federal laws.”

“As we’ve seen throughout the past year, meritless lawsuits serve as press releases for those seeking to further election misinformation and undermine American democracy,” Wimmer said.

This response is nonsensical.  They can't cite any law that says you should keep dead people on the roles.  Such a law would also be nonsensical.  Michigan should lose this case and have to pay for the litigation cost.
