#Detroit City officials cleaned up the #VoterRolls after the @PILFoundation, a government watchdog, filed suit against them in December. Nearly 2,500 deceased individuals and 4,800 #DuplicateRegistrations were removed from the voter rolls. @JoeSchoffstall bit.ly/2BxuJ4a

Outside liberal groups, such as the New York-based @BrennanCenter and @LWVSSMC #Michigan, [intervened] on behalf of the #ElectionOfficials but ultimately did not play much of a role. @JoeSchoffstall bit.ly/2BxuJ4a

The voter registration irregularities were not the only time #Detroit has faced election-related controversy. Last year, clerk Sherikia L. Hawkins was charged with felony counts for altering absentee ballots during the 2018 elections.@JoeSchoffstall bit.ly/2BxuJ4a

Past reports also showed voter machine irregularities in #Detroit when 37 percent of its precincts in 2016 registered more votes than the number of voters who were tallied in polling stations.

@PILFoundation has identified a number of similar situations across the country. [They] filed a lawsuit against the city of #Pittsburgh, [settled] in May and agreed to turn over records, including information on dead voting registrants. @JoeSchoffstall bit.ly/2BxuJ4a

"Other jurisdictions should take note—if you don't act on solid data that your voter rolls are corrupted with dead and duplicate registrations, you will be sued."
