Top Michigan media outlets, like the Detroit News and Free Press have done a grave injustice to the country by enabling Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s efforts to bury one of the most thoroughly documented investigations into organized election fraud in recent American history. Not only did members of the media downplay the statewide probe into GBI Strategies—launched just one month before the November 2020 election in Michigan—but they made no serious effort to examine or expose the full scope of the scheme or the number of cities and municipalities whose elections may have been compromised by the injection of an unknown volume of fraudulent registrations onto Michigan’s voter rolls.
Prior to the 2020 election, Michigan clerks were furious with Jocelyn Benson for telling them to IGNORE signature matching on absentee envelopes, in violation of election law. Not only was Jocelyn Benson breaking the law with her “guidance” to the clerks, but at the same time, she was hiding the largest investigation into voter registration fraud in the state’s history from the clerks tasked with ensuring the integrity of the election.
Although the report shows Ann Meisch contacted the Muskegon Police Department on October 16, 2020, we have evidence she appears to have known about the fraudulent voter registratons as early as October 5, when she shared an image on a private Michigan Clerk’s Facebook page we were given access to following our exclusive report on the GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan bombshell investigation.
How The Investigation Began
From the October 26, 2020, Michigan State Police report:
On 10/16/20 Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch and Deputy Clerk Kimberly Young contacted the Muskegon Police Department after noticing irregularities in voter registration applications received both in person and by mail.
Meisch received a small quantity and then larger quantities of voter registration applications by mail from a female later identified as [REDACTED]. It was found that [REDACTED] was working for a company called GBI Strategies who also went by the name Empower Michigan. [“EM”]
Meisch stated that in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent. Meisch’s opinion was based on the fact that numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent. Meisch investigated further and found that phone numbers on multiple forms were erroneous and signatures on multiple forms didn’t appear to match signatures on file with the Department of Secretary of State. Examples included an address in the 7000 block of Pine St and another in the 600 black of Maffett St. Those addresses do not exist in the Muskegon City house numbering system. Another form listed 80 W. Southern Ave which is the address for Muskegon High School and is clearly not a residence.
Meisch found that all the suspected fraudulent applications came from a mailing address “EM” at two locations (24225 W. 9 Mile Rd in Southfield, MI) and (917 N. Opdyke, Auburn Hills, MI). Meisch stated some of the initial forms were dropped off on 10/8/20 by a black female who identified herself as [REDACTED] stated she was employed by Empower Michigan / GBI Strategies. working to register voters and help registered voters obtain absentee ballots.
Meisch told Officers that [REDACTED] appeared reluctant to talk about specifics regarding the company and stated she would have to talk to her supervisor before answering any additional questions. Meisch estimated that “EM” had delivered between 8,000-10,000 voter registration forms to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office. Meisch turned over 42 suspected fraudulent applications to Officer Foster for examination.
On 10/20/20 (deadline day for in-person voter registration applications) returned to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office to deliver additional registration forms in person. Meisch estimated that brought an additional 2500 forms. Meisch contacted the Muskegon Police Department and Detective Logan Anderson and Captain Shawn Bride conducted a non-custodial interview with initially provided a fictitious date of birth. It was discovered that had a misdemeanor warrant issued by the Madison Heights Police Department that was beyond pickup range. [REDACTED] told Detectives she worked for GBI Strategies and is employed by owner Gary Bell. [REDACTED] said she was hired in Michigan in August of 2020 and is paid $1150 per week to find un-registered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot. [REDACTED] stated she has worked in different areas of Michigan and is provided a rental car and lodged in local hotels.[REDACTED] initially told investigators that “canvassers” are paid for each form that is completed but later stated that they were paid hourly no matter how many forms were turned in.
