Watchdog Group: Michigan Secretary of State Enforcing Laws She Wrote Herself

New election rules in Michigan are raising questions after Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson introduced changes shortly after announcing her run for governor. Patrice Johnson says the updates could impact how voter data is stored, how poll challengers are trained, and how election challenges are handled. She argues some of the changes may reduce transparency, while the state has not publicly responded to those specific claims. I reached out to Benson multiple times for comment and have not heard back.
