PIN concurred in the full grand-jury investigation into the alleged voter-registration fraud, limited to applications where (1) the purported applicant does not exist / appears fabricated ("unable to locate" with incorrect associated information); and (2) signatures are the same or substantially similar to signatures on other applications (suggesting one person signed multiple); this did NOT extend to applications with names of actual persons bearing a unique signature (p.1).

The investigation was limited to applications where the applicant appears fabricated or where signatures are substantially similar, and did not extend to applications with real persons bearing unique signatures.
PIN directed that no federal public statement be made without conferring with PIN, and that consultation is required before pursuing criminal charges or where venue is lacking.
Of 20 randomly selected applications, seven contain completely fabricated information, four contain a real name but mismatched DOB/DL/SSN, one contains a real name but mismatched middle name, one is for someone who does not appear to have ever lived in Muskegon with a fabricated address, and seven contain all or nearly all correct information.
