Michigan Republicans Demand Unredacted Voter Rolls Delivered to Trump Administration

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been urged by nearly two dozen Republican state House members to provide the Trump administration's Justice Department with unredacted voter rolls, including sensitive personal information. Michigan is among several states sued by the DOJ for refusing to share complete voter registration lists, citing legal and privacy protections for withholding data like Social Security numbers. Despite Michigan submitting a redacted voter roll to the DOJ, Republicans argue that Benson is obstructing federal law enforcement and the work of the state legislature. The GOP-backed resolution demanding full disclosure passed the Michigan House Election Integrity Committee strictly along party lines. Benson has publicly defended her refusal to release unredacted data, emphasizing compliance with state and federal privacy laws. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between Michigan Republicans and the Secretary of State's office over election data transparency and legal boundaries.
