LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says her office will not tolerate any effort to obstruct the certification of Tuesday's primary election based on "partisan games" or "baseless lies."
"Any attempts to block the certification of our elections, regardless of the results, will be futile," Benson said during an interview with The Detroit News. "We are confident that the courts will swiftly enforce the law and that at the end of the day, the will of the people will stand."
Benson, a Democrat, made the comments just days before the first statewide vote since November 2020, when supporters of then-President Donald Trump attempted to overturn Michigan's results based on unproven claims of widespread fraud.
