Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, recently highlighted the challenges faced by election officials amidst a climate of heightened tension and misinformation. Benson emphasized the importance of democracy not guaranteeing a vote for the winner but providing access and opportunity for participation.
She expressed concerns about the threats and vitriol directed towards election officials, particularly in the aftermath of false rhetoric surrounding the election results. Despite facing demoralizing attacks, Benson underscored the unwavering commitment of election professionals to uphold integrity and ensure that every valid vote is counted.
