Confessed Michigan Voter Fraud Sat Unprosecuted For Five Years
A Tennessee canvassing firm paid workers with prepaid debit cards to invent voters, and 85 percent of one FBI sample never existed.
- The FBI sampled 107 forms and found 85 percent of listed voters did not exist.
- Muskegon's clerk received 8,000 to 10,000 applications tied to the scheme in 2020.
- DOJ's Public Integrity Section narrowed the probe in 2021; the case closed in 2025 uncharged.
Why it matters: A confession is not a prosecution; only the Justice Department decides which crimes are punished.
