Two prominent figures in Michigan, former Adams Township clerk Stephanie Scott and pro-Trump attorney Stefanie Lambert, have been charged with allegedly tampering with election equipment and sharing voter data with an unauthorized third party. Scott faces six charges, while Lambert faces three, including felonies such as conspiracy and unauthorized access to a computer.
These incidents in Adams Township are part of a larger pattern across the nation, with prosecutors alleging that Trump allies attempted to breach voting systems in various states to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. Many individuals involved in these efforts are now facing criminal charges.
Lambert, who is already facing charges in a separate election-tampering case, has denied any wrongdoing and remains committed to bringing transparency to election data and procedures. Her attorney maintains her innocence and she has pleaded not guilty in her ongoing legal battles.
The charges were brought forth by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, who has been actively investigating and prosecuting attempts to undermine the 2020 election. Nessel emphasized the importance of upholding the democratic process and ensuring that elected officials do not abuse their power to promote baseless conspiracies.
Separately, Lambert is also involved in a legal dispute with Dominion Voting Systems, with the company seeking her removal from a defamation lawsuit filed by ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne. Lambert is expected to appear in federal court in Washington, DC, next week in connection with this case.
The ongoing legal battles in Michigan and at the federal level highlight the contentious aftermath of the 2020 election and the efforts by some individuals to challenge its outcome through questionable means.
