The sources confirm that Hastings Charter Township Clerk David Olson made a video stating that a Secretary of State employee told Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf that noncitizens are automatically registered when they change addresses, so the attribution holds.
What was said
… They want help from the feds to come in because they know that they are registering illegals. Here's one named David Olson talking about the situation: Hello, my name is David Olson, clerk at Hastings Charter Township in Barry County, Michigan. My county sheriff Darleef had received a report today and disseminated that information that an employee at the Secretary of State advised him and gave said that there was proof that when a non-citizen changes their address, programming automatically registers the non-citizen to vote. When that state employee advisor supervisor the supervisor's response was, It's okay because that will be caught downline by the clerks. No, it won't.

The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Michigan News Source and [your]NEWS report that Olson publicly called for federal help after a state employee allegedly told law enforcement that noncitizens can be automatically added to voter rolls during address changes.[2][4]
Supports. Robert Gouveia's Substack reports that Olson posted a video statement appealing for federal assistance, and that whistleblowers said the state software registers noncitizens who change addresses.[3]
Contradicts. [your]NEWS states the allegations have not been established through a court finding or independently verified evidence, and the Michigan Secretary of State's Election Fact Center says there is no evidence that large numbers of noncitizens are registering.[1][4]
Context. The passage places the employee's disclosure with the sheriff and a supervisor's reply to the employee, while the claim describes a supervisor telling the sheriff directly; this is a minor misstatement of roles in the extraction.
