Michigan County Clerk: “9 out of 10 voter registrations” received by clerks in my County Are Fraudulent—One Clerk Received 47 for ONE Person!

Macomb County, Michigan, with its heavy blue-collar population, was responsible for President Trump winning the swing state in 2016. Macomb County’s blue-collar vote helped put Michigan — and the presidency — in Donald Trump’s column in 2016. After the state was handed to Joe Biden in November 2020, that same county forged some of Michigan’s most relentless election-integrity fighters.

Fast forward ten years to 2026, and Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini is on the ballot as the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, replacing the nation’s most corrupt Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson. For the first time since Michigan Republican Senator Ruth Johnson held the office, Michigan has a real chance at cleaning up its voter rolls.

Anthony Forlini is not an in-your-face type candidate; however, he is quietly proving to Michigan voters that he’s serious about removing non-citizens, dead voters, fake registrations, and duplicate voters from its voter rolls.

Stacey Abrams Tours CT— That Is The Tell Connecticut’s Elections Are Suspect

When Stacey Abrams shows up in your state to lecture you about election integrity, you should ask yourself one question — why her?

Abrams has spent years positioning herself as the national standard-bearer for “voting rights” — a cause she adopted after refusing to concede her 2018 Georgia governor’s race. But The Georgia Record (a CDM outlet) has documented her fingerprints on one of the most troubled election cycles in modern American history: the 2020 Georgia election, where a temp staffing firm called Happy Faces Personnel — tied directly to Abrams — was credibly accused of criminal behavior at polling locations in Fulton County.

Eyewitness accounts published by The Georgia Record described probable criminal behavior by Happy Faces temp employees during the 2020 Georgia election cycle. The firm had been financed with Abrams-linked money and was later the subject of fierce local opposition when Fulton County Commissioners voted to renew its contract. North Fulton County jurisdictions were so alarmed they sought to break away and run their own elections rather than tolerate Happy Faces for another cycle.

None of that history followed Abrams to Hartford last weekend.

Trump Administration Has Made 151 Voter Fraud Arrests, Investigating 1,620 Additional Cases

Department of Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin has announced that the administration is probing 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens illegally casting ballots.

Mullin added that the department has already made 151 arrests and that there are as many as 300,000 additional cases that are set to be investigated, Fox News reported.

“We’re scrubbing them. We’re comparing them to those that are in the country illegally, those that are legal permanent residents and those that are citizens,” Mullin said of noncitizens voting.

Of the fraud in U.S. elections, Mullin added, “We continue to see that. Every single vote, Kayleigh, that we talk about, that was at the hands of an illegal canceled out a citizen that was legally registered and able to vote.”

The announcement comes as the Trump administration continues to focus on voter fraud. As Breitbart News reported in July, the White House released documents showing that at least 250,000 foreign nationals are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada alone.

DOJ Crackdown on Illegal Alien Voting Picks Up Steam with Charges Announced in Seven States

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has put illegal voters on notice with the 2026 midterms only weeks away, announcing charges against 16 people in multiple states for election crimes that include noncitizens casting ballots.

As one DOJ official put it, “American elections are for Americans.”

The charges, which include illegal voting, illegal voter registration, wire fraud, passport and identity fraud, and even firearm offenses were detailed in a lengthy DOJ release Friday.

It was followed by a warning on social media, with the DOJ writing, “If you are not allowed to vote in our elections, you shouldn’t. And if you do, that’s a CRIME. This isn’t a partisan issue!”

In addition to these charges, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stepped up to a White House lectern on Tuesday and announced charges against 11 individuals for illegally voting or fraudulently registering in the 2022 and 2024 elections.

“We are seeing illegal aliens voting,” Blanche told reporters.

According to the DOJ release, eight noncitizens residing in Texas were charged, while the other cases involved defendants in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Michigan.

The cases are part of a Trump administration crackdown on threats to the integrity of the U.S. election system.

The examples in the DOJ statement were striking.

According to a Fox News summary:

In Georgia, DOJ said Analiea Milliscent Eccles, a Venezuelan national and DACA recipient, voted nine times between 2008 and 2024. She was charged with voting as a noncitizen and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to vote.

Avila Gomez, a Mexican national residing in Idaho, is accused of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote and then voting in May 2022 and November 2024. The indictment also includes wire fraud, passport, identification-document and firearm-related charges.

Illegal Alien Indicted by Federal Grand Jury for Numerous Crimes Including Voter Fraud and Theft of Government Funds

An illegal alien from Mexico was indicted by a federal grand jury this week for numerous crimes, including voter fraud, making a false statement applying for a passport, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Fredy Avila Gomez is also being indicted on wire fraud and stealing government funds.

Based on court records, from 2017 to 2026, Gomez intentionally defrauded US government agencies and the State of Idaho. The list of agencies included Health and Human Services, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.

Gomez allegedly made false claims to be a citizen of the United States in order to vote in elections.

He has his first court appearance scheduled for September 21st in the US District Court for the District of Idaho. Gomez is looking at a maximum of 20 years in federal prison if he is convicted on the charges.

The prosecutors handling the case are Assistant US Attorneys Sean Mazorol and Darci Crane.

The DOJ created the National Fraud Enforcement Division earlier this year to prosecute individuals committing fraud against the United States and its citizens.

Another One: Mexican Alien Granted Legal Status Under Obama Arrested in Texas for Illegally Voting

Another alien has been arrested for illegally voting, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed on Thursday.

This follows the arrest of several illegal voters this week alone. In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of seven foreign nationals who had already been indicted for illegal activity tied to the 2024 general election on Tuesday.

Still, Democrats say this almost never happens, and the spineless Republicans in the Senate, led by RINO John Thune, caved on the SAVE Act.

The Daily Wire reported on Thursday that federal immigration authorities also arrested Ludwig Uriel Espejo-Carrillo, a Mexican national and green card holder in El Paso, Texas, who lied about his citizenship to vote in American elections.

According to the report, Espejo-Carrillo became a lawful permanent resident under Obama, and he is now awaiting deportation.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin described the alien’s actions as a “threat to our republic.”

“We cannot and will not allow the votes of American citizens to be canceled out by non-citizens illegally voting in our elections,” Mullin said.

Russian National Sentenced to Six Years in Prison for Voter Fraud, ID Theft Scam in Florida

Dmitry Shushlebin, 45, a Russian citizen living in Miami Beach, Florida, was sentenced on Wednesday to six years in prison and three years of supervised release for organizing an identity theft fraud scheme and ordered to pay $458,839.69 in restitution.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Shushlebin’s scheme included efforts to submit more than 100 fraudulent voter registration applications to create fake identities that he could use to commit financial fraud.

Per the DOJ:

On July 24, 2025, the United States filed a four-count superseding information charging Shushlebin with conspiracy to give false information in registering to vote and submit fraudulent voter registrations, wire fraud, making false statements, and aggravated identity theft. Shushlebin pleaded guilty to all four counts on July 25, 2025.

According to court documents, Shushlebin hired Sanjar Jamilov, an Uzbekistani national, and others to submit more than 100 fraudulent voter registration applications to the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections in February and March 2023.

One purpose of registering these fake voters was to create synthetic or fake identities that Shushlebin could use to commit financial fraud. Shushlebin used the fake identities to obtain fraudulent credit cards and loans. He perpetrated this scheme against the victim financial institutions hundreds of times using hundreds of different synthetic identities.

Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division noted, “Those who engage in fraud and deception in our election processes will be investigated and prosecuted.”

“After arriving in the United States, Dmitry Shushlebin created sham companies to facilitate a multi-year financial fraud scheme. He used these companies to commit identity theft, which allowed him to create synthetic or fake identities that appeared real after they were used to submit over 100 false voter registrations.”

U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe for the Middle District of Florida added, “Voting is one of the most significant rights and responsibilities Americans have.”

“We will continue to investigate threats to the integrity of our electoral process and prosecute those who engage in fraud or other means to violate our nation’s voting laws.”

New Jersey’s Dirty Voter Rolls Are Just The Tip Of The Iceberg — And Democrats Are Covering It Up

New Jersey’s non-citizens on the voter rolls scandal is not a glitch. It is a window into a complete breakdown in a system of election integrity and Congress is finally looking through it.

This week, the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Constitution held a hearing, “Restoring Election Integrity: Oversight of Voter Fraud in New Jersey.” According to information gathered by Republican investigators in the Garden State, in 2023 and 2024 alone, at least 6,600 non-citizens were placed on the state’s voter rolls. Hundreds of them even went on to cast ballots in various elections. Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill finally admitted the huge problem after she was forced into making the confession by the GOP investigators and a formal warning letter from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Then she stonewalled the Department of Justice.

“‘Coverup’ is the polite way to say, in political terms, you don’t want this to come to light,” Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-NJ, said of Gov. Sherrill and her administration in relation to the allegations of a coverup.

As the House Judiciary subcommittee continued to dig through the voter fraud scandal in New Jersey, experts on election integrity testified that what happened in the Garden State is likely to have happened in other states, on dates other than those cited by Governor Sherrill. Jason Sena, an election law attorney from New Jersey, noted that non-citizens had registered to vote in the state before and after the so-called ‘glitch’ in software that Governor Sherrill said caused the problem, through means having nothing to do with the Motor Vehicle Commission. Josh Findlay, a research analyst with the America First Policy Institute, concurred with Sena, adding, “New Jersey may be just the tip of the iceberg.”

‘Coercion’: Ballot harvesting concerns in nursing homes spur new push to protect vulnerable seniors

As the Trump administration seeks to crack down on potential voter fraud in nursing homes, an election watchdog group is providing additional information to long-term care facilities, citing several past criminal cases involving political operatives and staff who took advantage of vulnerable elderly residents.

A Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services memo from late July cited two major cases in recent years, one out of Texas and another out of Wisconsin, involving elderly people being exploited in long-term care facilities for collecting votes.

The memo says facilities have a “responsibility to preserve residents’ rights to vote and to promote participation in the democratic process.” But says, “this activity should not violate federal or state voting laws.” And that staff “cannot engage in inappropriate coercion or other violations of residents’ rights.”

“Residents who require assistance to vote should have the option of receiving assistance from the person of their choosing and should be offered the option of receiving assistance from their authorized representative,” the CMS memo says.

The Election Integrity Network released a toolkit for instructing senior facilities on how to comply with the CMS guidance.

Among other things, the toolkit suggests facilities or caregivers avoid assumptions and ensure a resident expresses interest in voting; refer that interest promptly to a designated voting coordinator; and protect the resident’s choice and ensure there is no pressure to vote for or against a candidate.

Magan McCreary previously worked at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in Texas, Connecticut, and Rhode Island before becoming an executive assistant at the Election Integrity Network. She was surprised at what she saw.

“I’ve seen coercion from state volunteers saying ‘this is how I would vote.’ I didn’t stay at a facility after I saw social workers filling out ballots,” McCreary told the Daily Signal. “There is a lack of education about the vulnerability, and too many see it as less of a civic duty and more of something to cross off the activity box. There is a breakdown in the training.”

Concerns about election integrity, voter intimidation or undue influence in nursing homes long predate the Trump administration.

Homeland Security Arrests Nigerian Non-Citizen for Voting in 2024 Presidential Election and 2022 Midterms

She checked the citizenship box. Massachusetts let her on the rolls. Then she voted… twice.

Homeland Security Investigations arrested a 56-year-old Nigerian national in Lynn, Massachusetts, and the Justice Department has charged her with unlawfully voting as an alien after she allegedly cast ballots in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election, Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported Wednesday, citing DOJ.

Gladys Adaeze Okafor is expected to make her first appearance in federal court in Boston later today.

According to the Justice Department account relayed by Melugin, Okafor is a lawful permanent resident. She holds a green card. She has not applied for U.S. citizenship.

Under federal law, that means she is not allowed to vote in federal elections, period.  Prosecutors say that did not stop her.

In July 2022, she registered to vote in Lynn and falsely attested that she was a U.S. citizen. She then voted in that year’s midterms. In 2023, she submitted a second voter registration form and again swore she was a citizen. She then allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential election.

DOJ says she admitted the 2024 vote in a recorded interview with an HSI agent last week.
