Linda Lee Tarver spoke by phone about alleged errors in Michigan's voter rolls, including the keeping of deceased people and double registrations at individual addresses.
Linda Lee Tarver talks and talks, she can hardly be stopped. What she says on the phone sounds like an inventory of a broken electoral system: Michigan's official voter rolls have been listing people who have died for years, including people who have been dead for more than ten years or were born more than 150 years ago. Up to 45 voters are registered at individual addresses. Ballots would even be cast from dilapidated and boarded-up houses in Detroit. Tarver also cites an example from her own family. Her son was still listed as a voter at her address in Lansing in the 2020 and 2022 elections, even though he left the house in 2007 and has lived in Georgia since then.
