On October 8, 2020, only one month before arguably the most hotly contested election in American history, Michigan State Police and the local Muskegon Police Department uncovered a massive, statewide voter registration fraud scheme by the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies.
On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female (whose name was redacted from the police report) dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office.
The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate. On 10/21/20, First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s Office.
According to the Michigan State Police report, Mr. Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.
An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated.
The Michigan State Police identified the key suspect who dropped off between 8,000 and 10,000 voter registrations at the Muskegon Clerk’s office. She was arrested and detained by the Michigan State Police during a traffic stop.
The key suspect (named in the MSP report) had a warrant out for her arrest for a non-voter fraud-related offense, and was taken into custody, where AG inspector Stephen Morse interviewed her.
Here is a short clip from the interview, where AG Inspector Morse informs her that they are talking to her instead of arresting her:

On October 29, 2020, a search warrant was granted to Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Anderson by the 51st District Court that allowed for them to seize, secure, tabulate, and make return according to the law the property and things at the GBI Strategies headquarters in Southfield, MI.

The search warrant appears to indicate that the MSP was aware of GBI Strategies’ widespread activities across the state of Michigan, yet curiously, MI SOS Jocelyn Benson never alerted the clerks about the suspicious packages that were being mailed to clerks across the state.
Shortly after our bombshell exclusive story on the MSP investigation into GBI Strategies was released, Dan Bongino, who is now the Deputy Director of the FBI, highlighted our report during one of his podcasts.
Will FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino investigate the GBI Strategies investigation that was turned over to the FBI in 2021?
Bongino began his podcast by telling his viewers that many people came forward with claims of voter fraud, but unfortunately, “A lot of people bullsh*tted us in 2020.” He continued, “That’s the simplest way to say it.”
The then-popular talk show host, Dan Bongino, explained how he has always believed mail-in-voting is a great way for elections to be cheated, citing work by the New York Times reporter Adam Liptak, who warned about how mail-in-voting is ripe for fraud.
Bongino later explained that at the time the article was published by the New York Times, they were concerned about seniors and military members in Florida, who typically voted for Republicans, voting by mail.
From the New York Times article: Votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting.
“The more people you force to vote by mail,” Mr. Sancho said, “the more invalid ballots you will generate.”
Election experts say the challenges created by mailed ballots could well affect outcomes this fall and beyond. If the contests next month are close enough to be within what election lawyers call the margin of litigation, the grounds on which they will be fought will not be hanging chads but ballots cast away from the voting booth.
Voting by mail is now common enough and problematic enough that election experts say there have been multiple elections in which no one can say with confidence which candidate was the deserved winner.
On the most basic level, absentee voting replaces the oversight that exists at polling places with something akin to an honor system.
“Absentee voting is to voting in person,” Judge Richard A. Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has written, “as a take-home exam is to a proctored one.”
After providing some background on how easily elections can be stolen with mail-in voting, Bongino dove into Gateway Pundit’s GBI Strategies article.
The GBI Strategies mass voter registration investigation, which was based on a Muskegon Police report and a Michigan State Police report, stunned the nation.
I obtained the Michigan State Police report on the “Voter Fraud” case involving GBI Strategies from election integrity expert Phil O’Halloran, who was given the report by Muskegon resident Chris Kaijala, who obtained the report from the Michigan State Police via a FOIA request.
Bongino hyped the upcoming story throughout his podcast. The former Secret Service agent explained to his audience that he needed to verify the story before discussing it.
“There’s a major story out of Michigan about the 2020 election. I had to let it simmer a bit until the receipts popped,” he said.
Bongino then shared some of the details of the story, including the astounding amount of money GBI Strategies was paid to “register” voters. GBI Strategies was paid $11.2 million by Blac PAC in 2020 to go out and register voters.” He continued, “This is an enormous amount of money.”
Bongino explained, “Now, Gateway Pundit broke this story, hat tip to them,” he said, as he described some of the shocking details.
Watch:
On 10/26/20, Jocelyn Benson’s analyst, Corey Ames, prepared a spreadsheet for the Muskegon Police Department’s investigation with “information supplied by the Muskegon City Clerk’s Office and Muskegon Police Department from each sampling of suspicious voter registration forms.”
The MSP report states that Benson’s investigator was aware of a “quantity” of fraudulent voter registration applications found during their investigation into GBI Strategies.
In addition to speaking with several of the alleged victims whose names were used to create fraudulent voter registrations, at least one person was named as someone who allegedly committed the fraud.
No arrests were made in Michigan related to these alleged crimes.
From the Michigan State Police report:
On December 27, 2021, Special MSP Agent Sunshine Ponzett claimed that the FBI reached out to the MSP to ask for specific pieces of information related to the voter fraud investigation. From that point forward, the MSP’s investigation into GBI Strategies appeared to be paused.
For almost one year, from December 27, 2021, to December 22, 2022, the MSP Journal said the MSP is continuing to hold evidence for the FBI. On January 2, 2023, a journal entry claimed that MSP Lt. Michael Anderson spoke with FBI Special Agent Matt Eagles, who informed him, “The FBI is still working a national portion of this case and requests property be held for 6 months.
On March 21, 2021, an item was added to the Michigan State Police (MSP) journal included in their final report on the GBI Strategies “VOTER FRAUD” investigation stating that the FBI task force she is assigned to has a possible investigation into GBI Strategies in other states and requests that the MSP, Muskegon Police Department and Attorney General’s office turn over all of their reports to the FBI via email.
And then, on 04-19-2021, MSP Lieutenant Robert Davis, who appears to be working on the investigation into GBI with Lt. Anderson, added an entry in the MSP Journal, noting that the GBI Strategies VOTER FRAUD case will remain open as the FBI may have an associated case. And then, on May 28, 2021, the MSP report journal states that the “FBI has opened an investigation on the nationwide organization.”
The Michigan State Police VOTER FRAUD report that began in Muskegon, MI, on GBI Strategies on Oct. 26, 2020, was officially “CLOSED” on Oct. 26, 2023, after all items related to their investigation appeared to have been turned over to the FBI.
But on the final report date of January 8, 2024, the status of the MSP report appeared again as “OPEN”
So, where is the FBI on this case? And why do they continue to tell media outlets that FOIA an update on the case, that it is still pending? Were there any arrests related to their investigation? Will there be any arrests? Will Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) or Joe Biden be questioned about their quarter of a million payments to the group doing “voter registration” work in Michigan?
The following is an excerpt from the Michigan State Police report:
On 10/16/20, Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch and Deputy Clerk Kimberly Young contacted the Muskegon Police Department after noticing irregularities in voter registration applications received both in person and by mail.
The Muskegon city clerk became suspicious when the female (whose name is redacted in the first part of the police report, but then later, is unredacted) hand-delivered thousands of voter registrations to her office, many of them in the same handwriting.
On 10/20/20 (deadline day for in-person voter registration applications) the suspect returned to the *Muskegon City Clerk’s office to deliver additional registration forms in person. Meisch estimated that (suspect) brought an additional 2500 forms. Meisch contacted the Muskegon Police Department and Detective Logan Anderson and Captain Shawn Bride conducted a non-custodial interview with the suspect.
Meisch stated that in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent.
Meisch’s opinion was based on the fact that numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination, addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent.
Meisch investigated further and found that phone numbers on multiple forms were erroneous and signatures on multiple forms didn’t appear to match signatures on file with the Department of Secretary of State. Examples included an address in the and another in the [REDACTED]
Those addresses do not exist in the Muskegon City house numbering system. Another form listed 80 W. Southern Ave, which is the address for Muskegon High School and is clearly not a residence.
Later in the report, the name of the female suspect was unredacted.
The MI State Police investigator assigned to the case spoke with the female suspect, who explained that she was being paid $1150/week “to find unregistered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot.”
The only problem is that the handwriting on the voter registrations was the same on several of the registrations, and many of the addresses were nonexistent or fake.
MI Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is currently attempting to prosecute 15 senior citizens and the former MI GOP co-chair for casting an alternate set of electoral votes in the 2020 election, asked the MI State Police to join the Muskegon Police and AG’s investigation of the potentially massive, multi-city voter fraud operation.
Two members of AG Dana Nessel’s Criminal Investigation Division were assigned to the operation, yet curiously, she failed to mention the investigation to the public.
To this day, MI AG Dana Nessel is still claiming there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite the fact that she knew her office and the office of her friend, Michigan’s crooked SOS Jocelyn Benson, were deeply involved with the large scale investigation in conjunction with the Michigan State Police, before the FBI reportedly took over the investigation, claiming GBI Strategies had become part of multi-state investigation.
Instead of working to clean up voter fraud in the state of Michigan, MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and MI AG Dana Nessel are fighting to make it easier for illegal aliens to vote in our elections.
