Fraud Wars in Michigan. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issues a statement decrying a constitutional amendment requiring voter id would destroy democracy, meanwhile Elon Musk reveals that DOGE has discovered numerous duplicate social security numbers. Dana “Darth” Nessel instructs teachers and coaches to ignore executive orders, and has ignored Jocelyn Benson’s husband’s destruction of email records and business deals after his stint with the Mayor of Detroit.
Anatomy of Fraud – Same SSN Over and Over
🚨🚨CONSPIRACY THEORY NO MORE,

Two reasons why fraudulent SSN’s were provided to illegals by Democrats.
A: 10,000 illegals using the same exact Social Security number voted in Arizona 2020 presidential elections.

Fraud 101
https://culturalcourage.substack.com/p/fraud-101-why-you-cant-determine
The key to a secure election is cleaning the voter registrations. By claiming that there was no election fraud and ignoring the 606,000 voters who are “invalid”, yet remain on the rolls, we are ensuring huge losses. We need to understand how that affects the voting process, and how relying solely on hand counting ballots misses that avenue of fraud. Completely. And no, it doesn’t mean we keep Dominion machines, we have to return to paper ballots and one day of voting and Election Day tabulation of results.
I defy you, by examining a paper ballot, to determine if the ballot was cast by a legally registered voter. What are you counting? You do not have a chain of custody when you are recounting the votes by hand, so how do you know that the last bag of ballots discovered days after the polls closed contains votes from actual voters?
In other words, once the absentee ballot leaves the envelope we lose the chain of custody and can’t distinguish if it’s “fake”. And looking at the ballot itself is useless. And it turns out that we discovered a bunch more ballots for Sara, in fact they were all for Sara but one! Amazing! Each year Sara’s party locates those votes, but we’re sure glad that they all were counted. And recounted. And recounted. Which ones are the Illegally Cast Votes, can you pick them out from the photo below?
Benson Blunder Barbie Doesn’t Want To Protect Vote
Michigan House Republicans want to amend the state Constitution to ensure only U.S. citizens can vote, but Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson thinks it’s a bad idea.
“The politicians pushing this plan are taking something we all believe and know is true – that only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections – and using that as cover to gut Michiganders’ voting rights in our state constitution,” Benson, who is running to replace Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2026, said in a recent statement.
Benson contends the “failed policy” hasn’t worked in other states, pointing to legal challenges from progressive groups that have derailed similar efforts.
Details of Amendment
- Michigan House Republicans are seeking to amend the state constitution to require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration after December 18, 2026, and mandate photo ID for in-person voting
- Absentee voters would need to provide a copy of their photo ID, driver’s license number, state personal identification number, or the last four digits of their social security number.
Voters without ID would be allowed to cast provisional ballots that will be counted only after their citizenship is verified, within six days of the election. - The state would provide free photo IDs for citizens experiencing hardship.
- The proposal would also require the Secretary of State to periodically confirm that everyone on the statewide voter file is a U.S. citizen and that registration lists match the statewide qualified voter file.
Blunder Benson Barbie Hubby Lawsuit – Ryan Friedrichs
Detroit city councilmembers approved a six-figure payout on Tuesday to settle allegations Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s husband abused his authority as the city’s chief development officer.
Related Companies spokesman Jon Weinstein told the news site Friedrichs was not involved in soliciting tax dollars from lawmakers for the project, which Friedrichs cited as his motivation for leaving the city of Detroit.
“It is company policy that development team members who may come into contact with public officials register as lobbyists,” he said. “To be clear, in this case, Ryan did no lobbying around the nonprofit Detroit Center for Innovation’s grant in the budget.”
Benson, who also previously worked for billionaire Ross as CEO of the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality, is now running to replace Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2026, on a platform of transparency and a promise to “protect your rights and freedoms from bullies and billionaires.”
Friedrichs Jumped Directly From City of Detroit Job To Firm That He Helped Get Contract
Ryan Friedrichs — Detroit’s chief development officer who is tied to an ongoing criminal investigation into deleted government emails — is quitting his city job.
Friedrichs is leaving his city post in a few weeks to work for real estate mogul Stephen M. Ross in development of a new innovation center on the site of the aborted Wayne County jail project.
Friedrichs’ departure comes months after the city’s inspector general found that he abused his authority by being complicit in a scheme to delete city emails.
The fundraising campaign Duggan ordered began with an email introduction between Friedrichs and the nonprofit’s executive director Sonia Hassan. The email’s subject line was “Make Your Date Fundraising.”
“I’d like to introduce you to Ryan Friedrichs,” Wiley wrote in the August 2017 email to Hassan. “He is our chief development officer and the Mayor has tasked him with launching a large scale fundraising effort to Make Your Date. He’ll be in touch soon!”
Friedrichs said that his decision to leave his city job was unrelated to the controversy involving the deleted emails.
Friedrich is now the number one asset for Ross
Friedrichs said he will be “employee number one” on the Detroit team for Ross’ Related Companies. Friedrichs will be responsible for building out the team here as well as pushing forward the University of Michigan’s Detroit Center for Innovation. The center will create a mini-campus for about 1,000 U-M graduate students working in tech fields like artificial intelligence, mobility, data science and cybersecurity.
Dana Darth Nessel Clears Friedrich of Guilt When He Ordered Employees To Delete Emails
Records Retention must be followed, and you can face penalties in legal proceedings for just destroying records that may be used in a trial.
“The deletion of those records for whatever reason and regardless of whether it’s lawful is directly contrary to the purpose and intention of that act,” said Delie, who also serves as executive director of the Michigan Coalition for Open Government. “If you’re taking that action, it seems to me that you’re cognizant that it’s something people would want to see. It certainly poses a significant question about Michigan’s transparency laws and shows just another example of why they need to be improved.”
“Circumstances like this could be repeated without us ever knowing about it, which would be a huge blow to government transparency,” he added. “This begs the question ‘Has this occurred before and how often?'”
Nessel said her office considered whether the deletion of the emails violated Michigan’s FOIA law. But she noted that at the time the emails were deleted no FOIA requests had been filed for them.
The biggest problem here is there were no public documents that were destroyed. In fact, each and every one of these emails ultimately was recovered,” she said. “Even if there was an attempt at some juncture to destroy public documents, there was no success.”
Darth Nessel Continues To Order Record Destruction
Wow...you and Benson sure do love to destroy incriminating records https://t.co/WhLsjfUEqV

Darth Nessel Says Ignore Exec Order Regarding Transgender Treatment
Corewell Health is the first medical system in the state to announce that it is limiting gender-affirming care for minor patients. It will no longer allow minors seeking such treatment to start new hormone therapy regimens; minor patients already receiving hormone therapy will be allowed to continue their treatments.
The moratorium comes in the wake of President Donald Trump‘s executive order that threatens to strip federal funding from hospitals that provide such treatments to people under the age of 19.
Meanwhile on Friday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told hospitals to continue to provide treatment, saying in a statement, “refusing helathcare services to a class of individuals based on their protected status, such as withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, may constitute discrimination under Michigan law.”
Bottom line, she said: “If you are seeking healthcare, continue to do so. If you are providing healthcare in compliance with Michigan law, please continue to do so.”
Suicide Study
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/transgender-teens-7-6-times-more-likely-to-attempt-suicide
Transgender adolescents were 7.6 times as likely to attempt suicide as cisgender peers.
They also found females attracted to other females were 3.6 times more likely to think about suicide and 3.3 times more likely to attempt suicide compared to heterosexual teens. Teens attracted to multiple genders had a 2.5 times higher risk of suicidal ideation and 2.8 times higher risk of attempting suicide.
Teens still questioning their sexual orientation had double the risk of attempting suicide.
The researchers also took into account reported incidents of bullying Trusted Source and cyberbullying Trusted Source by the teens in their sample.
Dictator Whose Exec Orders Aren’t Followed
MHSAA spokesman Geoff Kimmerly told Bridge Michigan on Thursday the private nonprofit that oversees Michigan interscholastic athletics doesn’t plan to change its policy allowing boys in girls sports, defying an executive order issued by the 47th POTUS on Wednesday.
“We’re just waiting for the next step I suppose,” Kimmerly said, noting conflicts between the EO and Michigan’s Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which Democrats amended in 2023 to include gender identity and sexual orientation as protected classes.
MHSAA’s current policy allows biologically male transgender girls to participate in girls sports, if they secure a waiver.
“When questions arise involving trans girl (male to female) student-athletes, the MHSAA executive director will determine eligibility for MHSAA tournaments on a case-by-case basis after being provided at least 30 days prior” with specific documentation, according to the MHSAA’s 2023-24 handbook.
That documentation includes school records, health records, a physical exam, and other information, such as whether or not students have undergone hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgery.
while Kimberly told Bridge there’s two transgender high school student athletes with active waivers in Michigan, out of about 175,000.
There are two girls – transgender girls – that we have given waivers to this school year,” Kimberly told WEMU. “We do not track transgender boys because everybody is allowed to play on boys’ sports teams.”
Could We Get Records Regarding Voter Rolls or Transgender Waivers or Transgender Curriculum? Nope
https://www.thefp.com/p/mom-asks-for-public-school-records-33-million-foia
$33 Million for records from Rochester Hills regarding curriculum. Michigan Law states:
https://legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=MCL-15-234
the fee must be limited to actual mailing costs, and to the actual incremental cost of duplication or publication including labor, the cost of search, examination, review, and the deletion and separation of exempt from nonexempt information as provided in section 14. Except as otherwise provided in this act, if the public body estimates or charges a fee in accordance with this act, the total fee must not exceed the sum of the following components:

Carol Beth Litkouhi is a parent who lives in the Rochester Community School District. She asked for materials used in a high school class titled “A History of Ethnic and Gender Studies.” The school district refused to provide many of the records Litkouhi asked for, arguing that the law doesn’t require it to provide records held by individual teachers. Litkouhi sued, but the trial court ruled against her.
In February, the Court of Appeals agreed. The court reasoned that FOIA applies to local public bodies, not to their individual employees. Therefore, said the court, “records created and retained by individual teachers are not public records subject to disclosure for purposes of FOIA.”
This means that Benson could withdraw records for purposes of state business, research or other duties and not provide them to the public
Ban Gotion
This doesn’t go far enough. This just blocks Gotion from receiving tax dollars, it doesn’t ban Gotion from doing business. This is timid and weak.
Legislation to block Gotion, Inc. from collecting federal tax credits for a planned electric vehicle battery component plant in Michigan is now pending in both chambers of Congress.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., officially introduced the No Official Giveaways Of Taxpayers’ Income to Oppressive Nations Act on Tuesday, following Michigan Congressman John Moolenaar’s introduction of the same in the House last month.
The NO GOTION Act is bipartisan legislation aimed at prohibiting companies affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party from receiving green energy production tax credits under former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
“U.S. adversaries shouldn’t be allowed to benefit off American taxpayer dollars with incentives meant to build American businesses,” Scott said in a statement. “Americans elected us to represent their best interests, and I’m proud to do that with our NO GOTION Act to crack down on companies owned by our adversaries attempting to take advantage of U.S. tax privileges.”
