This evening, Hastings Charter Township Clerk David Olson released a video of himself pleading with the feds to get involved in Michigan’s elections, specifically to help him identify and remove non-citizens from his voter rolls. Mr. Olson is asking for help from the feds after a whistleblower from Jocelyn Benson’s Secretary of State’s office came forward and told Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf that non-citizens are being placed on the voter rolls at the Secretary of State level. Hastings Charter Twp. Clerk David Olson claims there is absolutely no way for local clerks to detect non-citizens placed on their voter rolls by the Secretary of State’s office. Hastings Charter Township is in Barry County, Michigan.
Clerk Olson explained what the whistleblower told the Barry County Sheriff: “When a non-citizen changes their address, programming automatically registers that citizen to vote. When the employee advised the supervisor, the supervisor said ‘That’s okay, because it will be caught downline by the clerks.” Olson challenged the supervisor’s statement, saying, “That is not correct! Once it’s in the qualified voter file, there’s no way for me to verify citizenship!” He continued, “Therefore, they [non-citizens] are automatically issued a ballot or an absentee ballot. So, since it is my responsibility to safeguard the voter rolls in my township, I’m asking if the federal government is interested to help verify my citizen’s [voter] roll?” Clerk Olson appears to welcome the opportunity to have his voter rolls cleared of non-citizens who have no right to vote in our elections. “I would be welcome to have them here,” he said, as he assured the integrity of his voter rolls would not be compromised. Olson explained, “I will safeguard my voter roll in the office but they are certainly welcome to come and compare against mine and this way will uphold law. I will definitely follow mine and it will be fair and honest.” The soft-spoken clerk ended with a simple, “Thank you.
When it comes to investigating and exposing voter fraud in Michigan, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf is arguably the most committed law enforcement official in the state.
This evening, after speaking with a whistleblower who works at the Michigan Secretary of State’s office, he dropped a major bombshell that should make every United States Senator who’s been resisting the idea of signing on to the SAVE Act, which would require every voter to prove their citizenship, think twice.
Here’s a quick summary of Sheriff Dar Leaf explaining how non-citizens are allegedly automatically registered to vote and how difficult it is to detect and remove them:
• A confidential informant who works for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office told him that non-citizens are automatically registered to vote when they change their address.
• The customer and automotive records system is programmed to congratulate and inform those non-citizens that they have been registered to vote.
• When the informant showed proof to a supervisor, the supervisor claimed the county clerk would catch and remove non-citizens. Leaf states that this is incorrect: clerks receive access to the Qualified Voter File only after the Secretary of State has already registered the person, and the QVF itself does not flag citizenship status.
• Once on the rolls, the person can request a mail-in ballot or vote in person with an ID card; polling places do not verify citizenship.
• Leaf says his office has referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice for investigation of possible conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. § 611 (unlawful voting by non-citizens) by placing non-citizens on the voter rolls and into the jury pool.
• He is also asking the Michigan Legislature to act immediately to stop the practice.
• He encourages anyone with additional evidence to contact his office or their local sheriff, closing with: “You know this is wrong, it’s time to act.”

WOW! 🚨🚨🚨MI SOS @JocelynBenson is more crooked than anyone knew!!!
@SheriffLeaf confirms:
A whistleblower has revealed that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s election software is programmed to automatically register non-citizens—including illegal aliens—to vote whenever they update or move their addresses!
The feature is hardwired into the system. Local clerks have zero ability to override or block it.
Even worse, clerks are locked out of any meaningful way to verify or determine a voter’s citizenship status.
This isn’t a glitch. It’s built into the software itself—leaving Michigan’s voter rolls wide open to ineligible registrants every time an address changes.
And now, she wants Michigan residents to choose her as their next governor! 😂😂😂😂

No wonder Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is refusing to turn over the voter rolls to the DOJ for them to remove non-citizens. She knows how important it is to keep non-citizens who rely on taxpayer-funded services, which Democrats reliably support, on Michigan’s voter rolls.
