Timothy Burke: voter rolls are public, and this one says he did indeed vote in those elections voteref.com/voters/MI/vi...

Deleted.

Hopefully someone will check the Michigan voter file to see if it is true that this lad does not vote

He voted in both 2020 and 2022.

I'm not doubting you, but do you have a source for that?

You can usually see if someone is registered to vote if you have their name, location, and some other details. But as far as I can tell, finding out if they actually cast a vote in a particular election requires a request submitted to the county clerk where they're registered

Again, as far as I know this info isn't listed online in an easily searchable database

Orgs that have purchased voter files have voting history. It’s how political campaigns target their mailers and the like.

That makes sense though I question if a random person on bluesky has ready access to those records

Though I saw your other comment on another thread and I wouldn't be surprised if he did vote in both elections. I am surprised someone could verify it !

Just saw your comment and posted the link. My Google-fu is weak

well also google has become increasingly terrible over the last few years, and especially over the last few months, so...

Fine work as always, brother. Almost seems like the kind of work a journalist would do, but who are we to say?

One thing that really captures the problem is that you were able to quickly fact check this and so could the NYT, but you as a regular citizen actually did and the NYT as an incredibly well-resourced team of, ostensibly, professional fact-finders did not.

Thank you.
