Michigan’s top election official: ‘Every tactic tried in 2020 will be tried again’

Up for re-election as secretary of state herself, Jocelyn Benson expects more electoral interference in the looming midterms

Jocelyn Benson can still rattle off all the important dates.

There was 17 November 2020, when two canvassers in Michigan's Wayne county nearly refused to certify the election results. There was 23 November, when the state board almost did the same thing. There was 5 December, when dozens of armed protesters gathered outside her home as she put up Christmas decorations with her family. And there was 6 January, when an armed mob laid siege to the US Capitol.
