I can’t see any difference in this and the KGB or the Gestapo, can you?  Yet, Michigan’s Secretary of State has encouraged those in the state to start reporting their neighbors who might be providing “misinformation” about the upcoming (s)election.

Logan Washburn writes at The Federalist:

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is encouraging residents to report so-called “misinformation” from their neighbors ahead of November’s election.

“Misinformation about the election process, voter rights, or even an issue on the ballot is a serious threat to election security,” reads an online document from Benson’s office. “If you see misleading or inaccurate information regarding voting or elections in Michigan, please report it.”

The document requests residents email reports of election “misinformation” – with “an image if possible” – to [email protected]. Benson’s office solicits residents to report misinformation on its “voter education resources” page.

The Federalist asked Benson’s office who this email reaches and how the state responds to alleged “misinformation,” but her office did not comment in time for publication.

Benson’s office published another document discussing this so-called election “misinformation,” calling it “the most potentially damaging threat to our democracy.” It blamed “partisans, grifters, and other opportunists here at home” for “hacking the minds of American citizens,” and called on residents to enforce the official narrative.

“Citizens can and should join this effort,” the document reads, “calling out misinformation when they see it and insisting that we hold people accountable for spreading lies about elections.”

For “trusted” information, Benson’s office refers residents to its own “fact check” page, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and Snopes. The latter three have shown their colors as leftist information gatekeepers.

Benson, a Democrat, launched a “Democracy Ambassador” program for residents last week, according to a press release. The state sends supposedly “nonpartisan facts and resources” to residents who join, and it encourages them to share these approved messages “within their communities” where they will “combat any election-related misinformation.”

Participants will “squash misinformation before it spreads,” Benson said in the press release.

The state’s “Democracy Ambassador” webpage says the program consists of three steps: sign up to receive approved information, share that information, and sign up to be a poll worker.
