From the Detroit Free Press:

The Michigan Secretary of State denies that tens of thousands of eligible voters have been illegally removed from rolls or blocked from registering for the Nov. 4 election.
A New York Times report published today said that some 33,000 voters were inadvertently removed from the Michigan rolls in August, a violation of federal law. In addition, the report states that eligible voters also were removed from five other key swing states — Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Nevada and North Carolina. The newspaper based its findings on reviews of state records and Social Security data.
“That’s not a sound number,” said Kelly Chesney, spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State, today. “We don’t know how they got to that number. We’ve actually called them and the reporter can’t even explain the methodology.”
Chesney said roughly 11,000 voters have been purged from the rolls — those who have died, changed residency or moved out of state.

Barack Obama’s buddies over at ACORN have put millions of new voters on the rolls in the past couple of years — filing many forged registrations in the process. Election fraud is going to be a big story between now and November; Michigan is doing well to try to stay on top of its rolls.
