As the 2024 election approaches, concerns about election integrity and the accuracy of voter registration lists are again at the forefront of national discourse. With the stakes higher than ever, particularly in key swing states, the cleanliness of voter rolls may determine the election outcome. Recent findings from Michigan’s voter registration list, as analyzed by the TITAN system, have raised alarms about the integrity of these rolls, which include significant discrepancies and potential fraudulent registrations. Moreover, these issues raise serious constitutional concerns at the heart of American democracy.
Michigan’s Voter Registration List: A Case Study in Discrepancy
Michigan voter registration list ran through our TITAN system, it is horrific:

The data provided by independent journalist Peter Bernegger paints a concerning picture of Michigan’s voter rolls. According to Bernegger’s findings, over 1.7 million records contain errors or discrepancies that could lead to potential voter fraud.
These numbers highlight a broader issue—dirty voter rolls can lead to dirty elections, and Michigan is not alone. Bernegger has pointed to similar problems in other states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, and Travis County, Texas.
Phantom Voters and the Threat to Election Integrity in 2024
Adding to the concern, a recent video from American Patriot News titled ‘Phantom Voters Registered in the Key Swing States Could Cost Trump the 2024 Elections‘ brings attention to a more insidious problem—phantom voters. Former California State Assemblyman Steve Baldwin discusses how illegal aliens are being registered to vote using addresses of processing centers and NGOs, particularly in swing states. These ‘phantom voters’ could play a significant role in determining the outcome of the 2024 election.
Baldwin warns that illegal aliens are being registered even before they cross the U.S. border, using the addresses of processing centers as their voting registration addresses. This tactic is not limited to border states but has spread to crucial swing states, where every vote counts.
Constitutional Concerns: Protecting the Right to a Fair Election
The potential for widespread voter fraud through phantom voters and dirty voter rolls poses a significant threat to election integrity in the upcoming election. Beyond the immediate practical concerns, these issues also raise serious constitutional questions. The U.S. Constitution guarantees a republican form of government and the right to free and fair elections. However, when voter rolls are contaminated with ineligible or fraudulent registrations, the very principles of representative government are undermined.
Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution grants states the authority to manage their elections. Still, it also gives Congress the power to intervene when necessary to ensure the integrity of the process. The presence of phantom voters and inaccurate voter rolls challenges the effectiveness of state oversight and may necessitate federal action to protect the constitutional right to a fair vote.
A Call for Action to Preserve Election Integrity
The potential for widespread voter fraud through phantom voters and dirty voter rolls poses a significant threat to election integrity in the upcoming election. Action must be taken now to address these issues rather than waiting until after the election, when it may be too late.
Baldwin emphasizes the need for a proactive approach, urging the Republican National Committee (RNC) and other concerned parties to start the process of removing illegal and fraudulent voter registrations immediately. Challenging the validity of questionable addresses makes it possible to prevent these votes from being cast and counted in the 2024 election.
Conclusion
As the 2024 election nears, the importance of election integrity and proactive measures to ensure it cannot be overstated. The data from Michigan and the alarming reports of phantom voters in crucial swing states underscore the need for immediate action. Ensuring that only legal and eligible voters are registered and that their votes are counted is not just a matter of fairness; it is a matter of preserving the very foundation of our democracy.
The Constitution guarantees the right to free and fair elections, but this right is under threat when voter rolls are compromised. Every American who values the integrity of our elections should demand that these issues be addressed before it’s too late. The time to act is now.
