Public Forum hosted by Sheriff Leaf - 7-14-26

This public forum hosted by Sheriff Leaf in Barry County, Michigan on July 14, 2026, focused extensively on election integrity issues, particularly concerning voter registration accuracy, absentee ballot handling, and election process transparency. Presenters from the Election Integrity Project Force detailed concerns about voter rolls showing registrations exceeding 100% of the voting-age population, problems with the ERIC registration system, and issues arising from automatic voter registration via the DMV. They highlighted cases of duplicate votes, ballot counting discrepancies, and lack of accountability and training for election officials and law enforcement. While the forum included discussions on data analysis and election process flaws, no procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were reported during the meeting.
