Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf just released this video press statement.**

A confidential informant who works for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office came to him with evidence that the state’s CARS (Customer and Automotive Record System) is programmed to automatically register non-citizens to vote when they change their address. The system even congratulates them and notifies them that they are now registered.

When the informant showed this to her supervisor, the response was that the county clerk would catch the non-citizenship status and remove them.

Sheriff Leaf says that is not true. County clerks only get access to the Qualified Voter File *after* the Secretary of State has already registered the person. The QVF itself does not contain a citizenship status field.

Once someone is on the roll they can request a mail-in ballot or vote in person with their state ID. Poll workers do not verify citizenship.

Leaf’s office has referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice as a possible conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. § 611 (voting by aliens) and to place non-citizens on both the voter rolls and jury pools. He is also asking the Michigan Legislature to act immediately to stop it.

He is encouraging anyone with additional evidence to contact his office or their local sheriff.
