Nov. 16, 2020 Jocelyn Benson Michigan Secretary of State 430 W
Nov. 16, 2020 Jocelyn Benson Michigan Secretary of State 430 W. Allegan Street Lansing, MI 48918 Secretary Benson, As you are aware, the General Election has generated a great deal of interest and concern among the people of Michigan, with a record number of over 5.4 million Michiganders participating in the electoral process. Every citizen deserves to have faith in the integrity of the election process and its outcome. It is our responsibility, as elected public servants, to assure the people of Michigan of the processes integrity through complete transparency and the faithful investigation of any allegations of wrongdoing, fraud or abuse. Unfortunately, a number of serious allegations have been made which cannot and should not be ignored. First, in Antrim County, an error caused thousands of Michigan ballots that were meant for some candidates to be wrongly counted for their opposing candidates. While this issue was identified and corrected after observers flagged the unlikeliness of the outcome, it is unclear whether this issue replicated itself elsewhere. Antrim is just one of 47 counties in Michigan that used the software system at issue, Dominion Voting Systems, to process their ballots. This is particularly concerning when at least one other secretary of state, specifically in Texas, refused to certify Dominion Voting Systems for use because the examiner could not verify that the system was "safe from fraudulent or unauthorized manipulation." This raises questions over whether there are fundamental flaws in the software itself. -

Prepared for the Fire Service Clients of Kelley Cawthorne
Prepared for the Fire Service Clients of Kelley Cawthorne Legislative Update for February 24th through February 28th The Senate rejected Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s second Natural Resources Commission appointee this week. The vote mirrored the prior rejection vote for Anna Mitterling, who was rejected on a 20-16 vote, with only Sen. Jon Bumstead (R-Newaygo) siding with democrats. Likewise, Heartwell was rejected on a 20-17 vote with Sen. Bumstead again voting with democratic senators. The vote comes after a heated Advice and Consent Committee hearing the previous week, with republicans taking issue with anti-gun statements made by Heartwell and the fact that he had not hunted for over three decades. The committee met again this week and recommended disapproval of the appointment by a 4-1 party line vote. Democrats argued that Heartwell was qualified for the position and that his disapproval was due to political pressure from the National Rifle Association and other gun advocacy organizations. HB 5550, sponsored by Rep. Diana Farrington (R-Utica), was moved to the floor by the House Government Operations Committee on a 4-0 vote. Rep. Yousef Rabhi (D-Ann Arbor) abstained from voting. The legislation would amend the Regional Transit Authority law and would allow Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties to proceed with a new regional transit system while allowing Macomb County to opt out of the system. Macomb County has historically opposed the implementation of such a system. The legislation also saw opposition from some northern Oakland County legislators whose areas would potentially receive less service than more populated areas, despite paying the same millage amount.
