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.
“The jury pool is generated from the Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which includes individuals who are not U.S. citizens,” Forlini said. “Our staff spends a considerable amount of time verifying the citizenship status of those who self-report. Cross-checking those records against the Qualified Voter File helps identify potential registration issues that should be reviewed. Michigan residents deserve confidence that only eligible citizens are participating in our elections and jury system.”
Forlini also voiced support for the Department of Justice’s review of Michigan’s voter rolls.
“I support the Department of Justice’s review because the integrity of our elections deserves a thorough examination whenever credible concerns are identified,” he said. “Our office documented instances where individuals who identified themselves as non-U.S. citizens also appeared in the Qualified Voter File, and we referred those findings to the Michigan Bureau of Elections. Following the facts and correcting any weaknesses strengthens public confidence in our elections.”
Despite repeated referrals from Forlini’s office, the problem persists under Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson. Michigan residents are left wondering how many more non-citizens remain on the state’s voter rolls — and how many have already cast illegal ballots.
Anthony Forlini is the Republican candidate for Michigan Secretary of State. Should he trust Jocelyn Benson to run a free and fair election given her history of cheating? Should he be concerned about his fate as Michigan’s next secretary of state that lies in the hands of Jocelyn Benson, who is overseeing both his and her own election in November 2026?
The same Michigan Secretary of State who is blocking the US Department of Justice’s demand that she turn over Michigan’s voter rolls to ensure no non-citizens are registered to vote is also running for governor in the upcoming election she’s overseeing.
