JUST IN: Justice Kavanaugh Demands Michigan Sec of State Benson Answer After 2 Democrat Canvassers Block Citizenship Petition Backed by 87% of Likely MI Voters [VIDEO]

A petition to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in Michigan elections, which gathered over 700,000 signatures, was rejected by the Michigan Board of Canvassers due to signature discrepancies. The decision, made by two Democratic members, has led to an emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court. Public opinion surveys indicate that 87% of Michigan voters favor restricting voting to citizens.

• A petition to restrict voting in Michigan to U.S. citizens, titled “Americans for Citizens Only Voting,” gathered 709,841 signatures, exceeding the required threshold.
• The Bureau of Elections delayed its review of the petition signatures, leading to a tight deadline for the campaign to address challenges.
• Two Democratic members of the Michigan Board of Canvassers rejected signatures from a sample of 1,000, citing mismatches with signatures on file.
• Attorneys for the petition group submitted 23 affidavits to prove the validity of rejected signatures, but the Board rejected one affidavit for missing a procedural deadline.
• The Board deadlocked 2-2 on certifying the petition, effectively blocking it from the November ballot.
• The petition’s proponents have sought intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court, with Justice Kavanaugh ordering responses from Michigan officials.
• A survey indicates 87% of Michigan voters support only U.S. citizens voting in elections, and 73% want proof of citizenship before voter registration.
