Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division just put Michigan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on notice, cautioning her in a strongly worded letter about federal law requirements for maintaining clean voter rolls and ensuring only eligible U.S. citizens vote in federal elections.
The July 7, 2026, letter was sent directly to Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s chief election officer — the same dishonest secretary of state who is currently running for the Democratic candidate for Governor of Michigan and will be overseeing her own election.
The letter reminds Benson of multiple federal statutes, including the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), the Voting Rights Act (VRA), and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and explicitly threatens her with potential criminal liability for election officials who knowingly allow non-citizens to remain on voter rolls or cast ballots.
