🚨🚨🚨THREAD: After waiting on @JocelynBenson press office for comment/clarification/sourcing, which was not forthcoming, here is result of my investigation. Let's be clear: @elonmusk was right here and @JocelynBenson is spreading dangerous disinformation. 1/

2/ First let me start by saying I emailed personal email addresses for press people, which I had from earlier media inquiry, so they got my message. Second, I'll add I started this hunt after seeing @TomFitton fact check of Benson here.

@TomFitton 3/ I could tell, though, where Tom got his figures from or Benson for that matter so wanted to research myself. First point: Community Notes is wrong: There are not 7.9 million is voting age citizens in Michigan. @elonmusk was correct. That 7.9 is voting age "residents" of MI.

@TomFitton @elonmusk 4/ How do you know? Because the statute that mandates Census estimate "voting age population" defines it to include "residents" which is both citizens and non-citizens. )

@TomFitton @elonmusk 5/ So @JocelynBenson claim that "there are 7.9 citizens of voting age" in Michigan appears to be BLATANT DISINFORMATION.
