else."He has it.

He, he, he's mo- he's moved it over, and that's, to be quite honest, they have a huge financial advantage right now.

Not, not enormous, but a, a, a significant amount over, uh, uh, Doug and I.

You know, they, they've gone out there and raised money nationally and, uh, and, and through this ActBlue, which I question some of the, the donations and how they came across.

Uh, 14,000 had no employment information.

For God sakes, that's not what campaign finance law is about.

I want you to tell us what happens when you get there and how we give to you.

and

people can see what's going on and can trust our elections.

When we see what's going on right now with the state, it's an atrocity on how things were handled with the citizens only voting.

And I'm going to get in there and from the standpoint that we're going to have more transparency, the public's going to be able to trust their elections better because we're going to make sure we open the books and say, hey, Here's how things are going down.

Here's how things are going.

And bad players, we're going to hold accountable.

So that's why I'm running.

Once we solve that problem, what else would you like to accomplish as Michigan's next Secretary of State, Anthony G. Borlini?

What level of turnout are you expecting

today? You know, I think it's going to be pretty typical.

But let me tell you what's different this year is in 2024, we started with the early voting.

And the turnouts were pretty lackluster, to be quite honest.

Well, this year, compared to 2024, the numbers are doubled of people early voting.

So people are taking advantage of the fact that they can get in earlier, no lines, vote in person, in a tabulator.

And I think that's a great thing.

When should Macomb County residents expect some meaningful results tonight? What do you think?

How do you get ready for a day like today?

Well, thanks, Chris.

Let me tell you, this is...

A lot of work that's been put on by a lot of local clerks that have done their normal job that they have, but now they have an election.

And they're getting ready.

They've been getting ready.

They've been early voting for the last nine, ten days.

When should Macomb County residents expect some meaningful results tonight? What do you think?

And that seems to be something that pops up a lot.

Well, you know, it all came up from our jury pool.

Our jury pool, there were people coming in with a green card saying, hey, I'm not a citizen.

I can't be in the jury pool.

Well, for God's sakes, why are they in this jury pool to begin with? The Secretary of State's office should have sorted those people out right up front.

But then it occurred to me, hey, are these people registered to vote? And we had over 1,000 over the last year and a half that were in our jury pool that were not citizens.

On the other end, we had 1,040 of them were actually registered to vote.

But how about you if you get the job?

Senator said there about voting.

Well, you know, everyone's vote is being stolen when things happen that shouldn't be happening.

And there was the FOIA that was done out of Detroit recently that and they're fining thousands of absentee ballots with no signatures, absentee ballots without envelopes.

Something's wrong in the system, and it's because protocols aren't being followed.

So absentee ballots are not the problem themselves.

It's how people are applying them and how the protocols.

And when she talks about our party, the Republican Party, the votes being stolen from them, I think it's really being stolen within those in these areas that possibly are being cheated.

Does it mean anything that so far 57% of people who voted voted in the Democrat primary, 43% in the Republican primary in the early vote?

Tell us what you found in Michigan when it comes to voting.

Well, Tudor, thanks for having me on.

I really appreciate it because this is an important message.

This is something that, when we came upon this and stumbled across it through cross-checking databases, we, we found something that was incredibly alarming.

The first thing is, is, you know, I've won national awards for operational efficiency, so I'm always looking at how do we make our department a little bit more efficient, do a little bit better, bring a better service to, uh, to all of our citizens? And in doing that, uh, we're looking at the jury room, which is a smaller part of my o- overall operation, and, and I asked them, "Why is it there's so many jurors that are being dismissed?" And they...

Various reasons, right? But the one reason that really caught my attention was non-citizens that were being dismissed, and I thought that was interesting.

I says, "Give me those numbers if you can," and we c- actually changed our software system back in September.

Every election, I'm like, "What is Tony doing?"
