Michigan Removes 177,000 Voters From Voting Rolls After Legal Challenge

The Michigan secretary of state removed 177,000 inactive voters from the state's voter rolls after settling a legal challenge.

The state removed the names from the voter rolls in late January because the voters no longer live in the state or did not respond to the state's inquiries about their addresses, according to a Tuesday district court announcement. The state performed the post-election audit during a legal battle with the Honest Elections Project, an election watchdog.

Doing this shortly after an election (assuming the process is well-designed and well-executed) is fine. Doing it shortly before an election, when people don't have much time to find and correct errors, is not fine.

Want I want to know is how many of these people voted in the last election.

From the article:

Daunt and the Honest Elections Project filed the lawsuit in February 2020, sparking a year-long litigation process. Benson sent ballot applications to every voter in the state in May, drawing the ire of then-president Donald Trump. Approximately 500,000 of those applications were returned to the state because the recipient died or had moved. Benson said the state would examine the returned ballots after the election because of a federal law preventing the changing of voter lists in the 90 days before an election.

If they didn't return a ballot application, how would they have gotten a ballot on which to vote?

If they voted, why would they have been marked inactive?

except the cancellations are part of routine voter registration list maintenance that began months ago and had nothing to do with the lawsuit filed by the Honest Elections Project. The Link implies that the purge was the result of a settlement of the lawsuit but there was no settlement, the Honest Elections Project withdrew it's lawsuit.

It should be noted that none of the 177000 individuals being purged have voted in any election since before 2016.

Does it follow then, that their votes counted were also removed from the count? Or do they just say, well, that doesn't matter anymore?

"No Fraud"?
These names were removed because they were inactive, aka they did not vote.

So those that did vote are therefore assumed legitimate?

You cannot remove votes from elections prior to 2016. What is the end goal for that anyway? Most those folks are either out of office or have been voted back in through another election since 2016.
