Secretary Benson statement on House Republicans impeachment threat

"Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson released the following statement on Rep. James DeSana's (R-Carleton) plan to introduce articles of impeachment against her:"

 

"I believe in oversight and I believe in transparency. This isn’t it.

"This is Republican lawmakers abusing their authority to access sensitive election information that would allow them - or any conspiracy theorists they share it with - to tamper with election equipment, interfere with the chain of custody of ballots, or impersonate a clerk on Election Day.

"I continue to call on Speaker Hall and his caucus to work with us and a judicial mediator to help us reach a resolution to this matter.

"But let’s be clear: this clown show he is leading is no way to govern. It is not how we solve problems. It is not how we make government work for everyone. And every taxpayer dollar wasted on these shenanigans is a waste of time and money.

"I remain committed to the security of our elections and to the people of Michigan. I work for them. I suggest the House Republicans start doing the same."
