“If this administration wants to bring this circus to our state, my office is prepared to protect the people’s right to vote.”

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, pushing back on a federal request for voter data. Nessel made the remark after the U.S. Department of Justice sought ballots and election materials from Wayne County, citing alleged voter fraud. Michigan officials called the request baseless and politically motivated, noting the cited cases were already addressed and emphasizing that existing safeguards have proven effective in protecting election integrity.
