Hi again. Still wrong. Every Michigan registered voter has a right to vote by mail. I have the authority & responsibility to make sure that they know how to exercise this right - just like my GOP colleagues are doing in GA, IA, NE and WV. Also, again, my name is Jocelyn Benson.

Michigan sends absentee ballot applications to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!

Democracy can survive this current challenging moment, as it has so many times throughout history, if & only if the American people rise up & put in the work to ensure that it does. Spread only verifiable facts from trusted sources. Serve as a poll worker. Vote. We can do this.
