Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted several statements on his Twitter account on March 30 and 31, 2026. The tweets include commentary on political opponents and allegations regarding voter registration in Michigan.
On March 30, Maddock wrote: “Thin-skinned girly men mostly but a couple TDS women “republicans”too.” He followed this with another post: “Maybe there is hope here! https://t.co/HRukUpuhh4”.
The following day, Maddock made claims about the state’s voter rolls: “First thing he’s gonna do is remove the 55,000 dead voters and the 300,000 duplicates and the 30,000 illegals and the 200,000 abandoned addresses that Benson loaded into our voter file. Then the fun begins and you kommies never win another election. https://t.co/xNaBzq36Px”.
Maddock’s comments refer to Jocelyn Benson, who has served as Michigan’s Secretary of State since January 2019. In her role, Benson oversees elections and maintains the state’s voter registration database.
Claims regarding large numbers of ineligible voters or improper maintenance of voter rolls have been raised periodically in various states. However, these assertions are often contested by election officials and fact-checkers. In Michigan, routine processes exist for updating voter files to remove deceased individuals or those who have moved out of state.
