Gov. Whitmer-Appointed Judge Forces Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to Stop Hiding Critical Voting Data from the Public

In yet another major victory for election integrity warriors and government transparency, the Michigan Court of Claims just slammed the brakes on the Michigan Bureau of Elections’ blatant attempt to hide how voters actually cast their ballots.

In an Opinion and Order Granting Summary Disposition to Plaintiff, Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates ruled in favor of longtime election integrity advocate Phani Mantravadi, Founder of Check My Vote,  in his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Michigan Bureau of Elections.

The fight was over the Bureau’s sudden decision in March 2024 to begin redacting the all-important “Voting Type” column from the Qualified Voter File (QVF). This column shows whether each voter cast their ballot on Election Day (ED), Early In-Person (EV), or by Absentee ballot (A).

For years, this critical information was publicly available. Then, under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Bureau quietly started stripping it out — claiming it was necessary to protect the “secret ballot.”

BOMBSHELL: Detroit 2020 Election Document Investigation Reveals WHOPPING 12.4% of Absentee Ballots Are MISSING OFFICIAL ENVELOPE Required By Law From 51 Taxpayer-Subsidized Housing Addresses

New Jersey resident Yehuda Miller, Check My Vote founder Phani Mantravadi, and Patty McMurray of The Gateway Pundit have joined forces with over 100 incredibly dedicated volunteers in one of the largest citizen-led election integrity investigations in American history.

Our incredible team of volunteers and election experts is currently reviewing nearly one million documents from Detroit and Wayne County’s November 2020 election — the same records a judge finally forced the City of Detroit to turn over after they repeatedly denied Yehuda Miller’s FOIA requests.

This is long, grueling, and often tedious work. Many of the documents arrived in completely out-of-order. Our team — led by Phani Mantravadi’s (founder of Check My Vote) technical expertise — built a custom website to organize and display them. Thanks to Phani Mantravadi, we now have successfully digitized and sequenced over 155,000 absentee ballot envelopes by counting board, allowing our volunteers to meticulously examine every single one for irregularities and fraud.

Please consider giving to this VOLUNTEER effort, with over 100 individuals dedicating up to 12 hours a day to help us complete this project before the midterm election. We have a GiveSendGo account set up to help fund this project, and we humbly ask you to consider making a contribution to support our work, as we receive no outside or government funds.

Volunteers are entering critical data — flagging every questionable, fraudulent, or illegally accepted ballot envelope that Detroit officials rubber-stamped in 2020.

Before we release our findings to the public, we check, double-check, and, in some cases, even triple-check our work to ensure accuracy.

Michigan Senate candidate doubles down on rural America jab when confronted on old tweets

Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow stands by her since-deleted post on social media agreeing with the notion that rural America could learn from coastal elites.

McMorrow joined CNN on Sunday and host Manu Raju said, “In 2016, a user posted, ‘I‘m from the rural Midwest. All this talk about coastal elites needing to understand more of America has it backwards.’ You wrote in response to that user, this thread, ‘I’m from rural New Jersey. This ranks 100%.’ So do you stand by that sentiment that rural parts of America can learn from coastal elites?”

McMorrow, who has deleted roughly 6,000 social media posts amid her Senate campaign, argued that everyone should try to understand each other a little better.

“Trump has succeeded in weaponizing us against each other, convincing us that we are each other’s enemies,” McMorrow said. “I‘ve lived all over the country. I’ve met a lot of different people, and I stand by that. Was it the most eloquent tweet I’ve ever tweeted? No, I’ve tweeted thousands of times. There is a level of authenticity and just grappling, in the wake of the 2016 election, of how somebody like Donald Trump could have been elected. And what I know is we are not each other’s enemies, and we need to understand each other better.”

CNN Grills Michigan US Senate Cadidate Mallory McMorrow on Her Cache of Deleted Tweets and Questionable Residency Timeline

The Gateway Pundit reported on deleted tweets from Michigan State Senator and Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow.

Recently, McMorrow deleted around 6,000 posts from her social media accounts, including some that disparaged her new state, while others presented a conflicting timeline of her “official” Michigan residency.

In her 2025 autobiography, McMorrow wrote that she “relocated permanently” to Michigan in 2014.

Yet, a review of her deleted tweets shows she references voting in California, where the New Jersey native moved to before moving to Michigan, suggesting she voted in California’s Democrat primary, describing herself as a constituent of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA).

Per CNN:

Yet a CNN KFile review of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine reveals a series of now-deleted social media posts of McMorrow describing herself as a California resident as late as July 2016.

McMorrow repeatedly referenced voting in California’s June 2016 Democratic primary and urged voters to register for it. In other now-deleted posts, McMorrow also described herself in July 2016 as a constituent of California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu and referenced voting in person in November 2014 in the Los Angeles area, where she was a resident at the time.

On Sunday, McMorrow joined CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday with Manu Raju for a segment titled “One-on-One with Democrat Under Fire for Deleted Tweets.”

Michigan State University Forced to Close Academic Building After Discovery of a METH LAB

Police were forced to shut down the largest academic building at Michigan State University this week after it was discovered that it was housing a meth lab.

This sounds like something out of the TV series ‘Breaking Bad.’

It’s another embarrassing black eye for higher education but on the bright side, at least the lab didn’t blow up first.

NBC News reports:

Man arrested and charged in meth incident at Michigan State University

A 31-year-old man has been arrested and charged in an incident involving methamphetamines at Michigan State University, prompting the closure of Wells Hall, the largest academic building on campus, this week.

Xin Tong faces charges of malicious destruction of property over $20,000 and operating or maintaining a methamphetamine lab, state police said in a news release. He is being held at the Ingham County Jail on a $500,000 cash surety bond. It is not clear whether Tong has an attorney.

Campus Public Safety Chief Mike Yankowski said at a news conference Wednesday that the incident involved an unknown substance found on flooring and doors throughout the building in East Lansing.

At around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, campus police responded to a report of possible trespassing. Officers found Tong on the fifth floor with four or five backpacks and duffel bags, Yankowski said.

Police obtained a search warrant and found “several labeled and unlabeled containers of an unknown liquid substance inside,” the safety chief said.

The news release identified the substances as sodium hydroxide pellets, hydrochloric acid, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone and butane. Police said the substances can be purchased legally online and in stores.

Michigan Dem Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow purges X account following The Post’s report on her social media history

Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow, a candidate for US Senate, deleted thousands of tweets, some of which defended “coastal elites” and were critical of “Middle America,” after The Post first reported on them last year. 

Morrow, 39, purged her X account of roughly 6,000 posts, including all her tweets posted prior to 2020, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported Wednesday. 

The journalist noted the social media cleanse came after The Post’s April 2025 scoop on McMorrow’s tweet history. 

The deleted posts even included jabs at the purple state she is now running to represent.

“Aaaand it’s snowing. Screw you, Michigan. #NYCtoLA,” read a now-deleted April 2014 X post.

“There are days like these that make me miss California even more,” McMorrow groused on Jan. 5, 2017, the day before Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton was certified by Congress. 

She also removed a bizarre post where she mused about “Middle America” breaking away from the country weeks before Trump’s swearing-in as the 45th president.

“I had a dream that the US amicably broke off into The Ring (coasts+Can+Mex+parts Mich/Tex) and Middle America,” McMorrow wrote in the since-deleted tweet. 

McMorrow, a state senator who is running in the hotly contested Democratic primary to replace retiring US Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), has positioned herself as a moderate in the race and is considered a rising star in the party. 

She expressed frustration last year that Democrats give off “elitist” and “academic” vibes, but her social media history includes posts suggesting Trump supporters are poorly educated and agreeing with users who voiced criticism of rural voters. 

“We’ve downplayed the importance of quality education for all, replaced it with fear and blaming and anger, and here we are,” McMorrow posted on Election Day 2016.

Liberal Insanity: Michigan Town Spends $18,000 in Taxpayer Cash to Rip Out Over 600 ‘Racist’ Neighborhood Watch Signs, Mayor Calls Them ‘Expressions of Exclusion’

The liberal city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has spent $18,000 in taxpayer funds to remove more than 600 “Neighborhood Watch” signs after city officials declared the crime prevention signs “expressions of exclusion” that allegedly promote racial profiling and make people of color feel “unwelcome.”

The signs were yanked from front yards and public spaces by city crews over the past few weeks, with the final one removed last week.

Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor personally helped remove the last sign alongside two city council members.

In a video statement posted to Instagram to virtue signal, Taylor declared, “Frankly, neighborhood watch signs are expressions of exclusion, and they’re inconsistent with our values. Ann Arbor is a welcoming community. We don’t want to push people away. We want to welcome folks in.”

Council Member Cynthia Harrison, who is Black, strongly supported the removal.

In the announcement video, Harrison stated, “There are people that look like me, and those from my community that have been questioned, quite frankly, in their own neighborhood by others, you know, wondering what they’re doing there.”

“This is just representative of our values and how we want people to feel in Ann Arbor,” Harrison continued. “We do welcome everyone to the city of Ann Arbor, but most importantly, we want everyone to feel welcome, and just the removal of these signs is a huge step in that direction.”

The city council voted 10-0 in December to direct staff to remove every single Neighborhood Watch sign by July 15.

Officials unanimously approved the $18,000 expenditure earlier this year, drawing the money from the city’s general cash reserves rather than from the police or street maintenance budgets.

Ann Arbor officials claim the Neighborhood Watch program, launched nationwide in the 1970s amid rising crime concerns, has been “defunct” and inactive for decades.

The officials also cited research showing the signs do not actually reduce crime and instead “reinforce biased surveillance practices” and create distrust toward people of color.

After Comey indictment, acting AG leaves door open to Whitmer investigation over ’86 45′

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could face a federal investigation into an “86 45” emblem visible in the background of a virtual appearance she made several years ago.

The term 86 is slang used in the restaurant industry to signal something should be removed, like a menu item that’s out of stock or a disorderly person in a bar. President Donald Trump is the 45th and 47th president.

The Justice Department secured an indictment Tuesday against former FBI Director James Comey over a photo he posted last year of seashells on a beach arranged to read “86 47,” which prosecutors say was meant to be a threat to Trump’s life.

Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters during a press conference Tuesday that “other instances of threats against the president of the United States … will be investigated.”

“You cannot compare,” Blanche said. “It’s not fair to the American people, it’s not fair to the defendant, and it’s certainly not fair to the prosecutors to compare, ‘well, if you did it here, why didn’t you do it there?’”

Trump’s 2020 campaign accused Whitmer of “encouraging assassination attempts” against the president by having the emblem visible in the background of a virtual appearance on “Meet the Press.”

The interview was recorded days after federal agents thwarted an alleged plot to kidnap and kill Whitmer.

When specifically asked whether Whitmer’s 2020 appearance would also be investigated, Blanche did not rule that possibility out.

“Every case is different. The facts are different. Who makes the threat matters? What the threat says matters,” Blanche said.

One Very Good Reason Michigan’s Lawless AG Dana Nessel Should Not Be Able to Prevent Asst AG Harmeet Dhillon From Obtaining Wayne County’s 2024 Election Docs

On April 17, Michigan’s lawless Attorney General, Dana Nessel, responded to Asst. AG Dhillon’s demand, in a letter, in which she arrogantly claimed that the state would not comply with the DOJ’s request, which, according to Harmeet Dhillon, they are entitled to gain access to under several federal statutes, including a specific transparency statute from the 1960 Civil Rights Act.

In Attorney General Nessel’s response to Assistant Attorney General Dhillon, she cites the Gateway Pundit’s research into documents from Detroit’s November 2020 election, but in true fashion, AG Nessel doesn’t cite a link to either of the two updates Gateway Pundit has published on our research in her letter, but instead, cites a Michigan News Source report on our investigation.

It’s worth noting that the November 2024 election documents, which MI AG Dana Nessel told Assistant Attorney General Dhillon she has no right to obtain from Wayne County, are the same documents that Yehuda Miller has already obtained from Detroit and Wayne County from the November 2020 election.

In case you haven’t already heard, New Jersey resident Yehuda Miller, Check My Vote founder Phani Mantravadi, Patty McMurray of the Gateway Pundit, and the Michigan Fair Election Institute (MFE) are working with over 100 incredibly dedicated and conscientious volunteers to review over 1 million documents from Detroit and Wayne County’s November 2020 election.

Several months ago, Yehuda Miller reached out to me only moments before he loaded his U-Haul with almost 1 million 2020 Detroit and Wayne County election documents from the November 2020 election. Mr. Millier successfully obtained the documents after suing Detroit and Wayne County for refusing to turn them over to him via his original FOIA request before they were destroyed.

After working for over 4 years to expose the fraud in Michigan’s 2020 election, I was stunned to see firsthand the potentially incriminating documents he had obtained: boxes and boxes of Detroit’s 2020 election documents, all neatly stored inside a U-Haul. Mr. Miller had also obtained the electronic files of the same documents.

Dirty MI Sec of State Jocelyn Benson Was On Southern Poverty Law Center’s Board When They Allegedly Paid Top “Hate Group” Charlottesville Protest Organizer Where Innocent Woman Was Killed

The conservative-hating Southern Poverty Law Center appears to be facing some serious charges.

The same “hate group” smear machine that’s spent decades labeling conservatives, Christians, Trump supporters, and patriotic Americans as dangerous extremists has just been federally INDICTED on serious criminal charges.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the SPLC on April 21, 2026. The so-called “anti-hate” organization stands accused of running a massive fraud operation while pocketing hundreds of millions from gullible liberal donors.

Here’s what they’re charged with:

-6 counts of wire fraud
-4 counts of false statements to a federally insured bank
-1 count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering

Prosecutors say that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 MILLION in donated funds to individuals tied to the same extremist groups they publicly claim to be fighting – including the Ku Klux Klan (and United Klans of America), Aryan Nations, the National Socialist Party of America, and other alleged neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations.
