Congressional Probe Launched Into Alleged Noncitizen Voter Registration in Michigan
The investigation follows findings of 239 noncitizens in Macomb County jury pools, with 14 registered to vote, prompting GOP calls for federal voter ID and citizenship verification laws.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. House Oversight Committee opened an investigation into Michigan voting claims after Reps. James Comer and John James requested a DOJ briefing.
- On Jan. 12, Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini said his audit found 239 noncitizens in the jury pool over four months, with 14 registered to vote and at least one casting multiple ballots.

- House Republicans have proposed bills in recent weeks to strengthen voter verification, including the SAVE America Act scheduled for a vote this week, while Ann Bolin, R-Brighton, testifies Tuesday in support of the MEGA Act.
