Michigan’s Secretary of State: ‘A Lot of This Is Really a Strategy to Erode Public Confidence in What Was a Well-Run, Secure Election’

‘These efforts are not going to be successful’

EXCERPT:

BENSON: “The state legislature has already said, leaders in the state legislature have already confirmed publicly that they have no desire or intent to overturn the will of the people. So a lot of this is just really a strategy to erode public confidence in what was a very well- run, secure election. And we see this as a battle front not just in Michigan but, as you've mentioned, around the country. And so it's also important that we call it out for what it is. I mean, these efforts are not going to be successful. The people have spoken. The election has occurred. Now, as we follow all of our protocols to certify the results, it's important that we move forward doing so and not allow noise to get in the way of blocking the citizens of Michigan, the citizens of the country and the votes that they have taken.”
