The DOJ's civil rights chief formally demanded Wayne County's 2024 ballots on April 14, citing alleged voter fraud — but Michigan's attorney general and secretary of state refused on April 17, saying the demand was based on debunked 2020 allegations unrelated to 2024. The underlying facts are confirmed: Harmeet Dhillon sent the letter, Michigan officials rejected it, and the DOJ has made similar demands in Georgia and Arizona. However, the framing glosses over a critical detail — Dhillon's letter actually cited old 2020 cases as justification, not new 2024 fraud allegations, and Michigan officials documented that those three fraud cases represent 3 convictions out of 878,000 votes cast, suggesting the system caught wrongdoing when it happened.
