Voter ID is in the news as Republicans are trying to add the SAVE Act to a funding deal backed by the president. The law would require people to provide proof of American citizenship to vote in federal elections.

Traci Michele Kornak, former Michigan Democratic Party treasurer and Belmont attorney, was charged by Kent County prosecutors with two counts of embezzlement and one count of false pretenses related to her conduct as conservator for an elderly woman. “The charges follow a months-long investigation into the suspected financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult and come one day after the Michigan House Oversight Committee raised ethical concerns about the earlier handling of the matter,” Michigan House Republicans stated in a release. “Kent County’s charges confirm what we have warned about. When red flags are ignored, vulnerable people suffer,” said Rep. Gina Johnsen (R-Portland). “This case underscores the need for strong oversight and real accountability in government and public office,” Johnsen added. REPUBLICAN OVERSIGHT REAL RESULTS Former MI Democrat Party treasurer Traci Kornak is being held accountable for allegedly abusing a senior's trust and embezzling funds. Even with shady interference from Attorney General Dana Nessel, oversight PREVAILS@JasonWoolford3 https://t.co/xh4QN0zU0O pic.twitter.com/hoTHlJ7rvq — Michigan House Republicans (@MI_Republicans) January 28, 2026 Michigan House Republicans shared further: Kornak, who also served on Attorney General Dana Nessel’s 2018 transition team, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. At recent Oversight Committee hearings, leadership highlighted subpoenaed records they say show more than $419,000 in questionable transactions connected to Kornak and questioned whether ethical safeguards were upheld while a prior investigation was underway. These records also revealed the investigation remained open while Kornak was being considered for a potential court appointment, raising serious questions about whether ethical firewalls were properly maintained. “Protecting the most vulnerable in our communities is not a partisan issue,” Johnsen added. “Today’s charges are a reminder that safeguards must work and oversight must be relentless. We must continue to examine how investigations are handled, ensure ethical firewalls function as intended, and make clear that no one is above scrutiny.” Rep. Johnsen stressed that while prosecutors act independently, the Oversight Committee’s work has been vital in bringing transparency to a case that raised serious concerns about accountability, reinforcing the Legislature’s obligation to scrutinize how sensitive investigations are managed. According to Michigan News Source, Kornak “often named dropped being best friends with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.” Traci Kornak, a Grand Rapids attorney charged with embezzling money from an elderly mentally challenged woman, often named dropped being best friends with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.https://t.co/Odtn5M4Vuk — Michigan News Source (@MINewsSource) February 3, 2026 Michigan News Source provided further info: Kornak was the court-appointed conservator for Rose Burd, who died in April 2025. During testimony from the oversight hearing, the state of Michigan’s Adult Protective Services released the investigator’s notes. The investigator was looking into concerns Kornak was taking advantage of Burd. At one point, Burd showed a caregiver named Jennifer a financial statement that showed a $30,000 withdrawal that Burd was not aware of. As Jennifer was looking at the statement, Kornak walked in and grabbed it out of her hand and said, “Give that to me! You don’t need that. That’s mine.” The investigator’s notes stated, “Jennifer said that Traci often talks about her status and that she’s best friends with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Jennifer doesn’t know why Traci does that but said she talks about it very often.” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has been accused of a conflict of interest by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee. That’s because Nessel asked to be kept informed on the case involving Kornak, who served on her transition team and was also at one time the treasurer of the state’s Democratic Party.
