LANSING, Mich. — Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is asking the Attorney General's office and the Michigan State Police to investigate reports that an "unnamed third party" was granted access to voting technology in Roscommon County.
Benson, the state's top election official, announced the request in a statement Thursday. She also sent a letter to clerks across the state, saying Michigan law is "clear that unauthorized third parties may not have access to election technology and data."
"Our office has recently received multiple credible allegations of instances in which an unauthorized third party has been granted access to vote tabulation machines in violation of Michigan law," Benson's letter began.
