Benson recall petitions rejected by Board of State Canvassers

[RandySF]

A Michigan elections board rejected an effort to recall Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson Friday.

Two recall petitions alleged Benson misused state resources and took too long to settle campaign finance complaints. The petition sponsor wasn’t at Friday’s meeting of the Board of State Canvassers, leaving attorneys for Benson to pick them apart before the board.

One recall petition alleges “Secretary Benson is taking far longer than the statute allows to investigate and resolve complaints made under the Michigan Campaign Finance Act.”

Attorney Rowan Conybeare said that wasn’t specific enough for what Michigan law requires of recall petitions.

1. "Republicans know Jocelyn Benson has a strong record of saving Michiganders time and money, and a proven ...

... track record of taking on big fights and winning – that’s why they’re so desperate and afraid to stop her,” ... whole story in a nutshell!

3 guesses on who was funding this recall effort and the first 2 don't count..

Jocelyn Benson has been swatted twice in the last 48 hours. Elissa Slotkin was recently swatted too.

All in the wake of Secretary of State Benson announcing an investigation of Elon Musk for election interference and internet fraud.

Just a coincidence I'm sure
