“YOU’VE BEEN SERVED!” MI Sec of State Jocelyn Benson Served By Former MI Attorney General Over Potential Involvement In Funding Hate Groups Like KKK While Member of SPLC Board

MCR Special Teams and the Mike Cox law firm served Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson with Southern Poverty Law Center-related court papers on Wednesday evening.

Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox recently dropped his bid for the Republican candidate for governor. The highly unpopular Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is the likely Democratic candidate running for governor after being term-limited as Secretary of State.

Jocelyn Benson, who the Gateway Pundit frequently refers to as “America’s most dishonest Secretary of State,” is familiar with lawsuits. Benson has been involved in 69 election-related lawsuits during her time as Secretary of State. That is more than the combined total of the previous four Secretaries of State.

In addition to fighting an onslaught of election integrity-related lawsuits during her corrupt reign as Michigan’s top election official, it looks like she is about to be defending herself in yet another lawsuit. This time, Benson will potentially have to explain her role as a board member of the Southern Poverty Law Center during the same time the group has been accused in a federal lawsuit of paying hate groups like the KKK.

According to a federal indictment unsealed in April 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements, and related offenses.

Michigan City Council Member With Violent Past Charged With Election Fraud

Flint, Michigan, City Council Member Leon El-Alamin, seems to believe honesty is the best policy. 

“I deal with a lot of different types of people. I’m always me regardless of who they are. Whether it’s the governor or mayor, I’m still going to be honest and tell you the truth of what’s going on, and the things that you can do to help,” El-Alamin said in a profile produced by Muslims for American Progress (MAP) Project. 

But the community activist and face of Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s sweeping criminal record expungement program finds himself allegedly at odds with the truth, once again in trouble with the law — this time facing election fraud charges amid his re-election campaign. That may be the least of the former drug dealer’s problems in a swing state notorious for election integrity issues. 

‘Political Distraction’

El-Alamin is free on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond after his arraignment earlier this month, according to mlive.com. He was expected to appear in court for his preliminary hearing on Thursday. If convicted of the charges against him, Flint’s 1st Ward councilman could be sentenced to a maximum five years in prison, and he’d lose his place on the November ballot. 

El-Alamin, 45, stands accused of lying on his affidavit in April 2025, claiming he resided within Flint’s city limits to qualify for the council seat. He did not, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton told ABC 12 in Flint. Instead, El-Alamin was residing in nearby Mt. Morris Township, residents and others told police. A tenant at the Flint address listed on the councilman’s affidavit also told investigators that El-Alamin did not live there, but that he was the landlord of the property.

Elderly Michigan Widow in Trailer Shocked to Learn She’s a ‘Mega-Donor’ to Dems – ‘Gave’ $150K via ActBlue Over 5 Years While Living on Modest Pension

An 88-year-old widow living in a trailer in rural Michigan has been listed as funneling over $150,000 to Democrat causes through ActBlue.

Nearly 15,000 separate donations averaging eight per day, every single day, for five years, Michigan Enjoyer first reported.

The latest allegations come as ActBlue continues to face intense scrutiny from congressional investigators and federal authorities over its donor verification practices and allegations of potentially fraudulent contributions.

According to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff, 88-year-old Elizabeth Waffle was stunned after learning Federal Election Commission records attribute 14,696 separate donations totaling nearly $150,000 to her name over the past five years.

The records indicate she averaged roughly eight donations every single day during that period, including 47 donations to Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over the last two years.

She admitted making a few small, legitimate donations as a “true believer” in liberal causes, including some to El-Sayed. But 47 donations to him alone over two years? The avalanche of $150K total? Impossible. Some were tied to old addresses. Others went to candidates she’d never heard of.

Waffle told LeDuff she had no knowledge of the donations.

MI COUNTY CLERK DROPS BOMBSHELL: 1,062 NON-Citizens Found in Jury Pool List – 40 Are Registered to Vote In ONE County!

Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini is once again exposing a serious and ongoing problem in Michigan’s election system under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

From January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, Forlini’s office identified more than 1,000 prospective jurors who self-reported that they are not U.S. citizens. Of those individuals, 40 were found registered to vote in Macomb County’s Qualified Voter File.

Five of them even have a voting history.

The Clerk’s Office referred these findings to the Michigan Bureau of Elections on January 13, April 28, and July 10, 2026.

In January 2026, The Gateway Pundit reported that Forlini had identified 239 non-citizens in the jury pool over just four months. Of those, 14 had been registered to vote at some point, and several appeared to have voting histories — including one who voted multiple times.

“It is unconscionable that this problem continues,” Forlini said. “To provide greater transparency, our office posts a running tally of these findings on our website so the public can stay informed and lawmakers can better understand the scope of the issue as they consider reforms.”

Under Michigan law, only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote or serve on a jury. Yet non-citizens continue to receive jury summonses because the jury pool is generated from the Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which includes non-citizens.

More Evidence for Trump’s ‘Debunked’ 2020 Election Fraud Claims

We have all heard it many times.  According to “journalists,” claims made by President Trump regarding election cheating are “unfounded,” “disproven,” and/or “debunked.” However, irrefutable evidence of large-scale 2020 election fraud exists.

On Thursday night, the president outlined four specific areas of election concern.  I’d like to address one of them: corrupt Michigan voter registrations in the 2020 election.  Trump said, “Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.”

The president is correct: Widespread evidence of Michigan fraud was detected before the 2020 election.  After it was discovered and reviewed by the FBI, it was concealed by the Biden DOJ.  I know this because I read it in numerous confidential DOJ email communications.

The scandal is discovered

Shortly before the 2020 election, a woman walked into a Muskegon County (Mich.) election office and submitted 8 to 10 thousand voter registration applications.  An alert election clerk named Ann Meisch noticed that many of the applications were extremely suspicious, with birth dates, addresses, and signatures that did not match the information on related driver’s licenses.

Meisch and co-workers made a largely unsuccessful effort to verify the information by calling phone numbers on questionable applications.  The matter was then turned over to Muskegon local police and state authorities, including secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and attorney general Dana Nessel.  They briefly investigated the matter before the probe was turned over to the FBI.  It was then squelched by the Biden Department of Justice.

The story went dark for almost three years until the Gateway Pundit (G.P.) published a series of articles based upon state and city police reports.  Here is a short recap of the G.P. reporting, followed by some confidential information that has not been widely reported.

  • The woman who submitted the registration applications has the name Brianna Hawkins and was paid $1,150 per week and given a rental car and a “reloadable pay card.”  Her job was to register voters and help them use the registrations to get ballots.
  • The company she worked for was a Tennessee organization with the name GBI Strategies.  It had numerous branches and activities in many areas of Michigan, and in other locations in the United States.
  • GBI had very close ties to high-ranking Democrats and left-leaning groups.  A police investigation stated or implied that in 2018, GBI was paid $188,000 by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $1,571,000 by the Doug Jones for Senate Committee, and $657,000 by the left-wing New American Jobs Fund.
  • During their investigation, the police found several “semi-automatic rifles joined with suppressors and optics and customized pistols.”  Why they were there is a mystery.
  • The police also found “dozens of new phones” and hundreds of “prepaid payment cards.”  (Why hundreds?  Were people being paid with the cards if they registered and voted?)
  • GBI employees told police investigators that they never advocated that people vote for Joe Biden or any particular candidate.  However, police saw a script in the GBI office that encouraged people to vote for Joe Biden.
  • City police went door to door to confirm that the registration forms possessed by GBI were fraudulent.
  • Ruth Johnson, a former state senator and former secretary of State, stated, “My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan.”

Phony registrations, no ID, and no signature-checking

To fully understand the scale of this corruption, and the significance of the phony registrations, you need to know how easily they can be converted into votes.

  • Although Michigan law required a voter to request a ballot application, Benson ignored the law, and she automatically mailed out 7.7 million ballot applications to everyone who was registered, including 4 million who were not planning to vote absentee and those with the phony registrations obtained by GBI.
  • To get a ballot application, no ID was required.
  • The only voting safeguard in Michigan (a weak one at that) was signature-matching.  However, secretary of State Jocelyn Benson unlawfully told election clerks throughout Michigan to “presume” that signatures matched.  Fortunately, Ann Meisch, the woman who discovered the scandal, ignored Benson’s unlawful instructions.
  • Four months after the election, Benson’s instructions were ruled to be illegal by a state judge.  The mainstream media ignored that ruling.  No appeal was filed by the secretary of State.

The Biden Department of Justice kills the investigation

Before the 2020 election, FBI agents knew that the real number of phony registrations could be several times larger than the 8,000 to 10,000 registrations originally reported.  I have the specific names of those agents but will not report them here.

At least one official reported that the number of phony registrations could change the election results.

Michigan appeals court reverses two more convictions tied to Whitmer kidnapping plot

Michigan appeals court on Monday overturned two more convictions related to the 2020 kidnapping plot of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ruling that it was obligated to overturn the convictions based on precedent.

Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were previously convicted of providing material support for an act of terrorism in the plot, alongside Joseph Morrison, whose conviction was overturned by a different appeals panel last month.

The new appeals court ruled that it was obligated to apply that ruling to Musico and Bellar as well and overturn the convictions, according to the Associated Press. 

None of the three men were accused of playing a direct role in the plot to kidnap the governor and the courts said kidnapping does not qualify as a “violent felony” under Michigan’s anti-terrorism law.

Although none of the men had a direct role in the plot, they were part of a paramilitary group that trained with Adam Fox, who was convicted of leading the plot and is serving 16 years in prison for the crime. A total of nine people were convicted in relation to the plot.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has vowed to appeal the initial ruling, which would then apply to both decisions. 

“The Court twists itself into a knot using legal and linguistic gymnastics in order to liberate dangerous criminals using convoluted definitions of the crimes upon which they were convicted,” Nessel said.

Elizabeth Warren Endorses Radical DSA Candidate in Michigan Senate Race, is Reminded of Utter Failure of Her Platner Endorsement 

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has just endorsed the far left DSA candidate Abdul El-Sayed for senate in Michigan.

She is doing this despite the fact that her endorsement of Graham Platner in Maine basically blew up in her face less than two weeks ago, when he was forced to drop out of the race over allegations of rape.

It shows just how desperate Democrats are to retake control of the senate.

Warren sure is a great judge of character, isn’t she?

Breitbart News reports:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) endorsed Muslim Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in the primary race, asserting that he is the only candidate who can build a “grassroots” movement to usher in leftist projects like universal health care.

El-Sayed has been backed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and most recently, Sen. Warren.

“Abdul is the only candidate in this race not taking corporate money, and he’s fighting to get money out of politics altogether. Abdul studied to be a doctor, and he’s fighting for every single American to have affordable, high-quality healthcare,” she said.

“Abdul has been a card-carrying union member, and he’s fighting for working people. That’s why he’s endorsed by the United Auto Workers, and he’s growing a movement of working people all across Michigan. And that’s why I’m endorsing Abdul. He is the fighter Michigan needs in the Senate,” Warren continued, identifying him as the “only candidate in this race who can build the grassroots movement needed to win in November for money in your pocket to get money out of politics and deliver Medicare for all.”

MUSKEGON UPDATE: How the Massive Michigan Democratic Voter Registration Fraud Operation Was Ignored, Buried, and Shut Down by Unscrupulous Biden FBI and DOJ Hacks

President Trump brought up the MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN 2020 coordinated election fraud scheme – buried by Biden admin – during his address to the country on Thursday.

This massive ballot registration scandal was first reported by The Gateway Pundit in August 2023 thanks to Michigan activists who tipped us off to this massive voter registration scandal.

The Gateway Pundit showed that a left-wing outfit named GBI Strategies, that was funded by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign, was attempting to fraudulently register up to 10,000 voters in a city with only 30,000 eligible voters.

The report on systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election has never been refuted or debunked; it was simply ignored and suppressed by legacy media. The blithe answer from Michigan’s corrupt far-left Attorney General is that they ‘referred it to the FBI.‘

Yet all the information is there in the Muskegon Police report, as well as another police report from the Michigan State Police, and yet there have been zero prosecutions of those involved.

The Muskegon fraudulent ballot registration case was not in suspended animation, and it certainly didn’t close itself.

It was deliberately buried under layers of AUSAs, FBI supervisors, DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN) officials, redactions, and bureaucratic fingerprints.

Trump Calls on FBI to Investigate ‘Significant Evidence of Fraud’ in Michigan 2020 Election, Releases Declassified Files

President Donald Trump has called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate alleged voter fraud in Michigan during the 2020 election, revealing during his Thursday night address that the FBI uncovered criminal activity in a probe that was “killed” by the Biden administration.

Trump’s evening speech focused heavily on election integrity, culminating in a renewed request for Congress to finally pass the SAVE America Act. As the president delivered his remarks, the White House dropped a series of declassified documents showing that government agencies were aware of alleged attempts to influence the results of the race between Trump and former President Joe Biden.  

According to Trump, that set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems.”

“They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that,” he continued, before sharing that an intelligence assessment showed that adversaries of the United States, “including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups,” have the capability to compromise American elections. 

A portion of the declassified materials released by the White House revealed that the Michigan State Police uncovered fraudulent activity within a large-scale Democrat get-out-the-vote effort, and that the case was being investigated by the FBI. It is unclear who might have been prosecuted as a result. 

“Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up,” Trump said. “Among the disclosures tonight are FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter registration operation in Michigan. In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat get-out-the-vote organization — a corrupt group in Muskegon — and were so concerned by what they found.”

He continued, “They were just so concerned they couldn’t believe it, actually, that they contacted the FBI in Detroit.”

According to the newly released files, canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registrations for people who did not exist, and received commission based on the number of applications that they produced in the form of monetary gift cards.  

“In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat,” Trump stated. “The FBI agents working on the cases believe that crimes were committed, yet the Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the investigation and killed it.”

“Tonight, I’m asking the FBI director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated, and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes,” the president added.

The Michigan State Police first stated that it was examining “irregularities in voter registration forms” in Muskegon in October 2020, the Detroit News reported. 

Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Curtis Hertel criticized Trump’s speech on social media, writing, “I liked this speech better when it was between a crematorium and an adult book store.”

WE FINALLY HAVE THE EVIDENCE! After Examining Over 155,000 Absentee Envelopes…We’ve Discovered Over 26,000 Absentee Ballots Were Unlawfully Counted In Detroit’s 2020 Election

This is the most important investigative piece I have ever worked on in my 15 years of reporting.

Before I report our findings, I want to thank Yehuda Miller of New Jersey for never giving up on the belief that Detroit’s election was stolen in November 2020.

I also want to thank the brilliant (an understatement) Phani Mantravadi for his tireless contribution to this project. In addition to his patience and guidance on all the technical aspects, he also uploaded and sorted almost a million documents on his Check My Vote website, so that over 100 well-trained volunteers could painstakingly enter the data from each and every envelope into a data field that would create a permanent record of each envelope and tie it to a registered voter. The actual envelope image would then be placed side by side with the voter’s registration and vote history from Detroit’s November and December 2020 Qualified Voter Files.

To be clear: Phani, Yehuda, and I are not working alone on this historic project.

In only 9 months, we’ve created a powerhouse investigative team of all volunteers who are the most dedicated and committed individuals I have ever known. These smart, ambitious, and hard-working Americans from across the country have given up family time, vacations, special events, and stolen personal time from their lives to make this monumental task bear fruit we could only have dreamed of.

It All Started With a Text Message From Yehuda Miller

In September 2025, I received a text from Yehuda Miller telling me that he was in Detroit and asked if we could meet. Little did I know that when I met him, Yehuda Miller would be driving a rented U-Haul truck filled with almost 1 million copies of the absentee ballot applications, absentee envelopes, absentee and in-person ballots, poll books, precinct tapes, and more from Detroit’s 2020 election. Not only did Yehuda possess hard copies of the documents, but he also had electronic files of the scanned documents. Yehuda’s only goal was to ensure that everything he had worked so hard to get would be made public. We couldn’t agree more, which is why we will always report our findings to you, the public, before turning them over to the proper authorities, where investigations often take years to complete and are conducted in total secrecy.
