Michigan ranks 30th nationally in election integrity report
The state scored well on voter ID and registration accuracy but received zero points in several categories, including citizenship verification.
- Michigan ranked 30th nationally in The Heritage Foundation's latest "Election Integrity Scorecard," an annual report evaluating states across 15 categories necessary for secure elections.
- For this year's report, Heritage increased the weight given to citizenship-verification laws and foreign-funding restrictions while evaluating states on voter ID implementation and registration list accuracy.
- Don Palmer, senior legal fellow for election integrity at Heritage, cited concerns about citizenship verification, noting Michigan received zero points in categories including election litigation and private funding restrictions.
- Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida topped the report, while Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, California, and Hawaii received the lowest scores; Palmer noted non-citizen voting remains a national concern.
- Heritage plans to host a series of meetings with election integrity experts to assess how effectively states enforce their laws, incorporating those findings into its 2027 rankings.
