Trump's Allies Ramp Up Campaign Targeting Voter Rolls (NY Times Article)

Calling themselves investigators, activists are using new data tools and disputed legal theories to urge officials to drop voters from the rolls.

A network of right-wing activists and allies of Donald J. Trump is quietly challenging thousands of voter registrations in critical presidential battleground states, an all-but-unnoticed effort that could have an impact in a close or contentious election.

Calling themselves election investigators, the activists have pressed local officials in Michigan, Nevada and Georgia to drop voters from the rolls en masse. They have at times targeted Democratic areas, relying on new data programs and novel legal theories to justify their push.

In one Michigan town, more than 100 voters were removed after an activist lobbied officials, citing an obscure state law from the 1950s. In the Detroit suburb of Waterford, a clerk removed 1,000 people from the rolls in response to a similar request. The ousted voters included an active-duty Air Force officer who was wrongly removed and later reinstated.

The purge in Waterford went unnoticed by state election officials until The New York Times discovered it. The Michigan secretary of state’s office has since told the clerk to reinstate the voters, saying the removals did not follow the process laid out in state and federal law, and issued a warning to the state’s 1,600 clerks.

The Michigan activists are part of an expansive web of grass-roots groups that formed after Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn his defeat in 2020. The groups have made mass voter challenges a top priority this election year, spurred on by a former Trump lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, and True the Vote, a vote-monitoring group with a long history of spreading misinformation.

Their mission, they say, is to maintain accurate voting records and remove voters who have moved to another jurisdiction. Democrats, they claim, use these “excess registrations” to stuff ballot boxes and steal elections.

The theory has no grounding in fact. Investigations into voter fraud have found that it is exceedingly rare and that when it occurs, it is typically isolated or even accidental. Election officials say that there is no reason to think that the systems in place for keeping voter lists up-to-date are failing.

The bigger risk, they note, is disenfranchising voters.

“If you’re challenging 1,000 voters at once, you are not bringing the sophistication required when you are handling someone’s constitutional right,” said Michael Siegrist, the clerk of Canton Township, Mich., and a board member of the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks.

In an email response to questions, Ms. Mitchell dismissed those concerns.

“The only persons ‘disenfranchised’ by following the law are the illegal voters, whose illegal registrations suppress and dilute the votes of those who are lawfully registered,” she said. “Our primary goal is to see that the laws of the states are followed and enforced by those sworn to administer the elections according to the applicable law.”

It is difficult to know precisely how many voters have been dropped from the rolls as a result of the campaign — and even harder to determine how many were dropped in error. A Times review of challenges in swing states, which included public records, interviews and audio recordings, suggested the activists were rarely as effective at removing voters as they were in Waterford.

But even when they fail, the challenges have consequences. In some states, a challenge alone is enough to limit a voter’s access to a mail ballot, or to require additional documentation at the polls. Privately, activists have said they consider that a victory.

At the same time, right-wing media outlets have promoted the challenges, casting public officials as corrupt and creating fodder that could be used in another round of legal challenges should Mr. Trump lose again.

“It really is aimed at being able to cast doubt on the results after the fact,” said Joanna Lydgate, the chief executive of States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan organization. “But also, before the election itself, at being able to shape who turns out and how they turn out.”

'Assisting' the Clerks

In Michigan, activists call their project Soles to the Rolls — an apparent play on Souls to the Polls, the get-out-the-vote effort popular in Black churches.

The undertaking pulls from every corner of the election-denial movement. Its parent group is an offshoot of Ms. Mitchell’s national network. A top deputy to Mike Lindell, a leading promoter of election-related conspiracy theories, helped conceive of the data program the activists use to hunt for suspicious voters, according to recordings reviewed by The Times. The state’s Republican Party, which is mired in a leadership dispute, has also endorsed the data program, and the Trump campaign cited its numbers in a misinformation-riddled report released in January.

That program, called Check My Vote, identifies addresses with irregularities, such as missing an apartment number or having an unusually high number of registered voters.

In training sessions, Tim Vetter, a developer of the system, has acknowledged that it turned up large numbers of supposedly questionable voters in dense areas of Detroit and in student housing in Ann Arbor, both overwhelmingly Democratic cities.

Activists can then use the data to assemble lists of voters to challenge. The program also tracks the outcome of the challenge and whether a voter later tries to vote, information that could be shared with election officials or law enforcement, Mr. Vetter has said, according to recordings reviewed by The Times.

“That’s just garbage,” Chris Thomas, an elections consultant for Detroit, said of the analysis. “It’s targeting lower income, immigrants and students.”

Mr. Vetter did not respond to a request for comment. Janine Iyer, who trains activists for the project, described the work as support for public officials. “All we’re doing is asking clerks to follow the law, and we’re just assisting them because we feel it’s important,” Ms. Iyer, a Republican Party official in Livingston County, near both Detroit and Ann Arbor, said in an interview.

Federal law requires clerks to keep voters who may have moved on the rolls for two election cycles, unless they receive notice from the voter. The Times identified four Michigan cities or towns where activists have lobbied officials to follow a faster removal process.

In October, Polly Skolarus, the clerk in Genoa, a small township west of Detroit, received a list of around 120 names and an email from Ms. Iyer suggesting she would be “breaking the law” if she did not begin the removal process outlined in a state law, according to records obtained by Documented, the liberal investigative group, and shared with The Times.

Ms. Skolarus told The Times that she was reluctant to take voters off the rolls in a presidential election year. But records indicate that nearly all of the voters had their registrations canceled, while others were flagged as “challenged” — meaning they would have to give additional information or verify their address before they could vote.

In one webinar, Mr. Vetter said he considered those restrictions progress: “Then you can’t vote until that gets corrected.”

In Waterford, an activist submitted to Kim Markee, the town clerk, the names of more than 1,000 voters they claimed had moved away and were no longer eligible. The names were pulled from the U.S. Postal Service’s mail-forwarding list, a database that includes snowbirds, active-duty military personnel and others still legally eligible to vote at their residence.

Ms. Markee said the town’s lawyer had advised her to follow the statute cited by the activists. She hired extra staff members to contact the voters through certified mailers and removed those who did not respond.

An employee later discovered that one of the dropped voters was serving in the Air Force in Illinois. The voter, who declined to comment, had her registration reinstated.

In January, Michigan’s secretary of state demanded that Ms. Markee reinstate all the voters who had not confirmed that they had moved. In a recent interview, Ms. Markee said she was still in discussions about the matter.

“They found this loophole in the state of Michigan,” she said. “We have to follow the law.”

Preparing for a Surge in Georgia

Georgia has seen by far the most mass challenges — 360,000 voters were challenged in the 2021 Senate runoff elections alone. In 2023, more than 8,600 voters had their registrations challenged in five major counties, according to data obtained by The Times.

In many cases, a single voter brought thousands of challenges.

A federal court in January found that the 2021 challenges, which were largely organized by True the Vote, did not amount to voter suppression. Catherine Engelbrecht, the group’s leader, has said the organization intends to ramp up the campaign ahead of the November election.

To do so, Ms. Engelbrecht has been promoting new software programs. One will “eclipse” the database used by most state officials, she said in a recent online meeting. Another is designed to help citizens file challenges on their own. A review of the program’s code by Wired magazine in November 2022 found that the app “ultimately uses an ineffective and unreliable methodology.”

In an email to The Times, Ms. Engelbrecht said True the Vote supported “voters in their efforts by providing an organized way to review local voter-roll records.” She disputed the findings in Wired, and said the group had added features to its software.

Republicans in the State Senate are moving forward with legislation that would make it easier to challenge a voter’s eligibility. The bill states that the Postal Service’s change of address database — a list often used by election-denial groups — can be used to dispute eligibility.

“Despite no evidence to support their claims,” said Karli Swift, a member of DeKalb County’s board of elections, “we, unfortunately, are preparing for the onslaught of significantly more voter challenges by certain groups attempting to remove voters from the voter roll ahead of the November general election.”

'We're Not Whack Jobs'

In Nevada, the Pigpen Project has set out to clean the voter rolls. Two longtime conservative activists, Chuck Muth and Dan Burdish, have organized door-to-door canvassing and enlisted landlords to compare voter rolls with their leasing records. More than once, they have escorted landlords to the Clark County registrar’s office so that they can flag registrations of former tenants.

Stephanie Wheatley, a spokeswoman for Clark County, said that the evidence was not enough to remove a voter but that it was “enough for the election department to do research and investigate.”

Ms. Wheatley said the registrar did not know how many investigations or removals had been prompted by the group.

The Pigpen Project, which is coordinating with Ms. Mitchell’s network, uses a platform based on data from VoteRef.com, a database that has been criticized by election officials as unreliable.

Mr. Burdish and Mr. Muth did not respond to requests for comment.

On a video call in November, Mr. Burdish displayed a map of Clark County, home to roughly 70 percent of the state’s voters, that was littered with blue dots supposedly identifying residences with problematic voters, according to a copy of the video obtained by Documented.

In the video, Mr. Burdish said his volunteers would be knocking on those doors and describing themselves as part of a quasi-governmental effort, despite having no connection to Clark County.

The goal, Mr. Burdish said on the call, was “to make sure that they know that we are working with the local registrar of voters and, you know, we’re not, I say, whack jobs.”

Bibliographic essay for the last five posts

This was originally part of the the third chapter in my family history on the Mills family, and published on WordPress, but has been broken up into various parts for this blog.

For the information on the Mills family, I used Find a Grave memorials of the following people:

John N. Mills (#8761820), Virginia Ellen Whitworth (#27406663), Rev John Thomas “Tom” Mills (#140243544), Bertha Ann Lane (#140246323), Cecil Virginia Mills (#140243354), Otis O’Neal Jackson (#126140098), Bonnie Gail Jackson (#142300585), George Newton Mills (#58071180), Ernest Everett Mills (#181497900), Mary Opal Brownfield (#181498075), John Simon Mills (#22708610), Sandra K. “Sandy” Bogdanich (#78076180), Lucille Virginia “Nan” Mills (#45100040), John Maurice Harding (#139577346), Glenda Juanita Mills (#50664713), Aaron Burr Mills, Jr (#94997079), Millie Lucille Freeman (#94997208), Naomi Lorraine Mills (#19591030), Virgil V. Porter (#19590904), and Cozette Mills (#152732975).

I looked at the original census documents for the 1880, 1900, 1920, 1930, and 1940 censuses, focusing on Dora A. Mills (1880), John Newton Mills (1900), Edward E. Mills (1900), and Margaret E. Mills (then Cosgrove) (1900), Margaret E. Mills (then Cosgrove) (1910), Robert B. Mills (1910), Edward E. Mills (1910), John N. Mills (1920), Robert B. Mills (1930), and John N. Mills (1940). I also looked at, on Family Search, the death record for Dora A. Mills in 1895 within Massachusetts Death Records; Hattie B. Mills (then Beals) death certificate in 1912 within “Massachusetts Deaths, 1841-1915” record collection; death certificate of John N Mills in 1945.

I also used certain records with the National Archives of Ireland’s Diocesan and Prerogative Wills, 1595-1898 database, specifically one for a person with surname of Mills or Wallis, and first name of Elizabeth, in the Cashel and Emly diocese, Waterford District, and living in Crossogue, County Tipperary when the probate was served in 1760. I also used the search engine for this National Archives’s database, listing 147 people with the surname of Mills.

For information on Joseph B. Mills, I used pages from Smith’s history of Warren County in 1895, page 492 of the Laws of the State of New York: Passed at the One Hundred and Ninth Session of the Legislature published in 1886 and digitized on Google Books, page 51 of Norton’s Ithaca City Directory 1890-1891 digitized by the Tompkins County Public Library, page 286 of the 1894 book titled History and biography of Washington county and the town of Queensbury, New York digitized by the Internet Archive and on genealogytrails.com, a page on the site of Warren County, NY government titled “Chairmen of the Board of Supervisors,” a page titled a “Historical Listing of Supervisors by Town 1888-2016” hosted by the Warren County government with a specific focus on page 3 of the PDF which focuses on the town of Chester, page 4 of the Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Warren in 1901 digitized on Google Book.

I also used newspaper clippings from fultonhistory.com including: “Pottersville,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1881; “Personals,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1881; “Chester,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1886; “Legislative Yeoman,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1886; “A Judgment Reversed,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1890; Article about case by Samuel T. Guilford, The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1890; “Sheriff’s Sale,” Lake George News (Warrenburg), 1890; “Farewell Testimonial,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1891; “The Board of Health,” Paterson Morning Call, Jul 13, 1892; “Pottersville,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), Jul 2, 1893; Joseph B. Mills, “Warren County Laws,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1895; “Standard Bearers Chosen,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), Sept 1, 1894; “Chester Town Audit,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1894; “Official Canvas,” Lake George News (Warrenburg), autumn 1894; “Republicans at the Burg,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1895; “Personals,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), Apr 15, 1895; “Town Tickets Nominated,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1896; “Personals,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1897; “Republican nominations,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1897; “List of Nominations,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1897; “Chestertown,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1897; “Personals,” Lake George News (Warrenburg), 1897; “Personals,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1897; “State Capitol Employees to J.B. Mills,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1897; “Pottersville,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1897; “Personals” (different article), The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1897; “Statement,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1898; “Recovered value of his hay,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1899; Varying articles about Mary A. Hammond suit, The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1899; “Necrology,” Daily Times (Troy, NY), 1900; “In Memoriam,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1900; “Obituary,” Daily Times (Troy, NY), 1900; “Deaths,” Washington County Post (North White Creek, NY), May 11, 1900; “Personals,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), 1900; “Warren County” (obituary), Daily Times (Troy, NY), May 7, 1900; “County Audits,” The Morning Star (Glens Falls), Dec 1900; “One Hundred Years Since Organization of Warren County,” The Daily Times (Glens Falls), 1911.

Also see a 2010 article titled “Sheriff seeks historic photos for display” in the Sun Community News & Printing for the detail about Joseph’s missing photograph. For the information on Joseph’s will, I used the will which is within Ancestry.com’s New York, Wills and Probate Records, 1659-1999 collection which derives from Wills, Vol G-I, 1897-1909, New York County, District and Probate Courts, pp 466-467. A harder to read copy of this will is within the same Ancestry.com collection which derives from Estate Records, No. 1-13, 353, Book of Wills, New York. Surrogate's Court (Warren County), Warren, New York, Wills, Vol G-H, pp 466-67. The latter record has a page, 468, that notes the minors of Joseph B. Mills. For the letter of testamentary and administration see the Letters of Administration and Testamentary, 1830-1919, New York. Surrogate's Court (Warren County), Warren, New York, Letters of Test, Vol H-K, 1894-1918, Ancestry.com.

The Run-Around Man

Our story this week was sent to us via Reddit and was written by Lee Garcia from New York. It is the perfect example of the head-scratcher. What is that you might ask? Simply put, that is a story that defies any explanation. Before my family moved, we lived in a small town called Waterford, outside Albany, NY. It was along the Mohawk River, and is very close to where the Mohawk and Hudson…

Beginning with a boom: Putting down roots in the Adirondacks

I excerpted this from the original post on the WordPress version of this blog, where this, and the previous post are in one document.

On April 18, 1838, John Mills stood before the Warren County Court of Common Pleas, a court which handled “matters of a civil nature.” The court would be abolished nine years later in 1847 when New York reorganized courts across the state, with some action beyond that date as “part of the restructuring process” to some degree. What he told the court was reprinted in his application for naturalization the same day, as recorded by the Warren County Clerk:

John Mills above named being duly sworn doth depose and say that he is of the age of thirty three years and he was born in the Parish of Ballyshehann and County of Tipperary in that part of the Kingdom of Great Britain called Ireland that he embarked at Waterford in the month of July as he believes in the year 1835 and arrived at the city of New York in the state of NY in the month of August and following he has since resided in the state of New York and County of Warren and still resides there. That he came to the United States for the purpose of residing therein and that it is bonafide his intention to become a citizen therein and that he makes his declaration for the said purpose and with such intent – that he hereby renounces from all allegiance to any foreign power potentate state or sovereignty whatever and particularly to the King of Great Britain of whom I am a subject.

This short paragraph told his whole journey to the United States, deriving a whole story! On the 70-71 km (43.5-44 míle) journey from Ballysheehan to Waterford, he likely would have either went by boat, as I suggested for Thomas, or he would have taken a carriage or horse rather than walking the distance as shown in figure 1.4. The rest of the journey, from Waterford to New York City, was a distance of 3,416 nautical miles (nm) or 3,931 miles if they went along the route on a map which is laid out in figure 1.5. All in all, this is a long way to come to be in the United States! From New York City, he may have taken another boat to Warren County, maybe even meeting his brother(s) or other family at the docks. Its hard to know, but one can imagine the circumstances.

Figure 1.4. The journey from Ballysheehan to Waterford by foot. Calculated with Google Maps (shown above)

Figure 1.5: The journey from Waterford to NYC by boat. Map and calculations via http://www.sea-seek.com/tools/tools.php.

The following year, in 1839, one Mills and one Bibby (or more) arrived in New York. Edward Mills arrived in Niagara, New York on June 1 or 2. He, like John Mills, lived in the town of Chester. Also that year, Robert Bibby arrived in the US, with the exact location of his arrival unknown. However, it is clear that he settled in Warren County, New York as well. As the family story goes, he married Margaret Ann Bibby in 1839. This is why the Bibby family matters. They would be the parents, in years to come, of Dora A. Mills, Robert Byron Mills (RBM I), and many others. As for the Bibbys there were a whole group of them that came over in 1839 and settled in Pottersville, NY, including a man named Elias Bibby with a wife named Eleanor and two children. They reportedly left Irelad because their home was burned down twice possibly because they were Protestants in a Catholic area.

By 1840, the Millses and Bibbys were more firmly planting their roots in Warren County. The same year that Robert Bibby gave a naturalization declaration and listing his age, the 1840 census revealed another record listing John Mills. Living in Chester, Warren Co. John Mills and Edward Mills were listed as neighbors. Sadly, this was the census in which only the head of household was listed. But within household of “John R Mills” as he was called in the census was one man aged 30-40, and one female aged 15-29. Undoubtedly this other woman was his wife Margaret, but these tick marks seem to indicate that they did NOT have children yet. If the 1845 New York State Census still existed, it might have listed their children, but sadly it did not.

One year later, in 1841, John Mills again went to the court so he could apply for his citizenship. He was supported by a man named Archibald Darby living in Glens Falls, Queensbury. Also that year, a man named Benjamin Bibby was living, seemingly, in Essex County, New York, town of Minerva, with a wife and child. Also that year, another Bibby immigrated, reportedly, on a ship named the SS Fairfield with his grandfather, Thomas Bibby and grandmother Ann Lyndop. He would live in New York until 1875, with his wife, named Margaret Johanna Shaw, dying six years prior, also in Essex County, New York. The Bibbys would settle in the Adirondack Mountains in horrible farm land in Chester which had a large settlement of Irish and harsh winters. Some would move to Ontario, Canada in later years, staying as farmers sometimes with large amounts of land, while others would go to Chester in Orange County or to Orleans County.

Just because you’re single, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t partake in a getaway.

In this overview, we’ll take a look at the top weekend getaways for singles.

Cooking Vacations

One of the most sociable forms of weekend getaways for singles is cooking vacations. If you are looking to meet people – this is a great choice. Cooking is full of energy and activity. The experience of learning how to make a delicious dish is a great one to share. Situations are usually funny, laid back and generally fun. Plus – you always get the chance to eat together and try your own meals at the end of the day. What better excuse to sit around and get to know a new and exciting group of people?

Singles cooking vacations are, of course, also great for those who love food or want to learn to cook. You learn skills in a fun and practical way. And you get the joy of doing so with new people around you. Cooking is no longer a chore, but a new skill, and once you have learned through an exciting and fresh experience. Visit this website for the best cooking vacations.

2. Yoga Retreats

Yoga retreats are an excellent choice for weekend getaways for singles as they have a strong and simple focus. For those who are new to the activity, or for those who have practiced it for a while, these vacations are simple and relaxing. They revolve around the practice of one of the world’s most calming exercises. You can push yourself to new levels with the help of expert instructors.

3. Detox

Detox vacations are becoming more and more popular as people are striving for a chance to step back from their busy and frantic lives. In a fast-paced society, with increasing pressure from work and social life, people are often yearning for the chance to be alone and get back to basics. This is exactly what singles detox vacations offer.

Many people lack the knowledge to create their own healthy meals. Many people lack the discipline or structure to stabilize their sleep. Many people lack time to step back and take a break simply. During singles detox retreats, experts organize all these things for you. You do not have to plan or structure your day, but simply go with the flow and feel the positive effects.

In this time, you also get to learn how to improve your lifestyle back home – and meet some friendly faces along the way.Have a look at this website for some great detox vacations.

4. Meditation

Many people want to try meditation but don’t know where to start. Participating in a singles meditation vacation is a great way to combat this conflict. Meditation is a fundamentally simple thing, yet we require some guidance to realize its full potential. The result is a set of skills and practices to take home and apply to your daily routine.

Although meditation is a single activity, it can be surprisingly social. The taught practices inspire many interesting discussions and in-depth conversations. Consequently, you get to meet many like-minded people and share an abundance of thoughts. Alternatively, these vacations are a great opportunity to be alone and embrace the chance to get back to yourself.

These weekend getaways for singles often offer healthy fresh meals and calming activities alongside meditation. Altogether, the result is a holiday of relaxation and simple joys. To spend a week, or weekend, in this state of mind can really make a difference. And the results of a meditation vacation can go far beyond the immediate effects of calmness, influencing the way you live your daily life, even for years afterward.
