Michigan Voter Purge

Daunt v. Benson

Lawsuit filed by an individual voter attempting to initiate a broad voter purge of Michigan’s voter rolls less than two months before the 2020 general election. A. Philip Randolph Institute and Rise Inc. intervened as defendants in the case.

RESULT: On Feb. 16, 2021, the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit after the Michigan secretary of state announced various “election security” initiatives.
