LANSING, Mich - Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is encouraging residents to report so-called “misinformation” from their neighbors ahead of November’s election.
“Misinformation about the election process, voter rights, or even an issue on the ballot is a serious threat to election security,” reads an online document from Benson’s office. “If you see misleading or inaccurate information regarding voting or elections in Michigan, please report it.”
he document requests residents email reports of election “misinformation” – with “an image if possible” – to [email protected]. Benson’s office solicits residents to report misinformation on its “voter education resources” page.
The Federalist asked Benson’s office who this email reaches and how the state responds to alleged “misinformation,” but her office did not comment in time for publication.
Benson’s office published another document discussing this so-called election “misinformation,” calling it “the most potentially damaging threat to our democracy.” It blamed “partisans, grifters, and other opportunists here at home” for “hacking the minds of American citizens,” and called on residents to enforce the official narrative.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich - Hailey Lynch-Bastion wants to be the next mayor of Grand Rapids, and “they” have some interesting ideas for changing the dynamic in Michigan’s second-largest city.
The blue-haired Grand Rapids native and employee at the city’s downtown Founders Brewing Company recently sat down with WOOD to discuss the mayor’s race as part of a series on 2024 mayoral candidates that also includes Steve Owens, David LaGrand and Senita Lenear.
It’s doubtful the other three candidates have composed campaign songs for their respective mayoral runs. But Lynch-Bastion has (some offensive language):
The four are competing in a primary set for Aug. 6, with the top-two vote winners moving on to the November general election.
Lynch-Bastion, who self-describes as “a person who focuses on philosophical and psychoanalytical work, largely speaking,” told the news site that while he has seriously contemplated running for mayor for over six years because “everything is terrible all the time,” he’s “not trying to get me elected.” Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Entrepreneur and media personality Kevin O’Leary warned this week that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the upcoming presidential election, she could turn into America’s version of Justin Trudeau.
O’Leary made the remarks during a Friday interview on NewsNation where he claimed that Harris — whom he said was the “it kid” — was a “blank sheet of paper” regarding her policy positions, despite numerous extreme left-wing positions that she held during her failed 2020 presidential campaign.
“I don’t blame her for not bringing up policy. She should just rant and rave, saying ‘I’m not Trump’ until August 7 because she’s raising so much money,” he said. “But then, she’s got to talk policy, and I don’t know what that looks like and nobody does because she’s like a blank sheet of paper.”
He said that the last “it kid” he saw in politics was far-Left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has overseen the rapid decline of America’s northern neighbor. Click here to read more.
