And I recently read that out of some 10 million Michigan citizens there over eight and a half million are registered to vote. Yet the national average for those under 18 is about 20-25%? How can 88% of a state be registered to vote??

When I settled in Washington state as I retired from the military, I notified the Michigan SOS that I had changed my voter registration to Washington and to please remove me from the rolls. That was 12 years ago. I recently received a postcard from Michigan about voting there. I wonder if anybody is voting in my name there?

That’s interesting. As soon as you cast your vote in either place you would think it should block additional votes in the other. But I bet it doesn’t. So at 3am you could unknowingly cast a second blue Michigan vote. SMH

Good reminder to send my notice to Illinois with a certified letter and keep a paper trail. Maybe that effort will be enough to deter any tampering with my registration after we move away from here.

Not in MI.... daughters moved out of the house and voted in other presidential elections in other states!!....an absentee ballot came to our house TWICE for the same election in 2020. My husband was so furious he could have spit nails!
