Clerk tried to remove voters from the rolls. How her county and the state of Michigan stopped her. * Michigan Advance

Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop, elected in 2024 as a Republican on promises to clean up the voter rolls, drew scrutiny after changing registration statuses in ways the Michigan Bureau of Elections said did not comply with state law. A dispute reignited in March after a postcard allegedly threatened Barb Mullaly’s voter registration, setting off a broader fight over election integrity in the county in Northern Michigan, near Grand Traverse Bay. The article says Bishop took steps to remove more than 1,600 of Antrim County’s roughly 21,000 registered voters, sometimes on inaccurate grounds, including warnings to residents—such as Mullaly—that they were at risk of losing their right to vote despite not having moved or stopped voting. The coverage compares the situation to past “rogue” election officials and describes an organized effort to push Bishop out.
