Secretary ordered DELETION of Election Records... Now Hit with MASSIVE Lawsuit!
YouTube ^ | 08/19/2026 | Robert Gouveia Esq. Robert Gouveia Esq.

This video discusses an emergency lawsuit filed against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (0:00 - 0:41).

Key Points:

Conflicting Directives: Michelle McQueer, a local township clerk in Michigan, is challenging a state directive that requires clerks to delete electronic poll book records within seven days after election certification (1:07 - 1:28).

Legal Dilemma: The lawsuit highlights a direct conflict between Benson's state-level rule and federal law (52 U.S.C. § 20701), which mandates the preservation of election records for 22 months (1:22 - 1:42).

Potential Consequences: Clerks are caught in a situation where they face potential federal imprisonment for deleting the records or state-level penalties for refusing to comply with the directive (1:29 - 1:42).

The Lawsuit: Filed by attorney Kevin Kijewski, the lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment to clarify which law takes precedence, arguing that Benson's rule exceeds her authority and violates established record-retention statutes (6:45 - 7:48).

The video also features a testimonial from an election whistleblower, Stephanie Scott, who shares her past experiences with similar directives in Michigan regarding the management of voting equipment and data (3:47 - 6:23).

Jocelyn Benson is one of the biggest proponents of ballot fraud in America going back years.

Because the FBI only arrests people who call out the fraud.

Good news is ballot files were preserved from a court order.

As of the latest available reporting (mid-to-late August 2026), the records from the August 4 primary remain preserved under the court order. They have not been deleted pursuant to Benson's rule. The underlying legal dispute over which retention period controls is ongoing.

I suggest the firing squad. If it were the conservatives the leftist communists would approve.

Article VI, Clause 2:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

This shouldn't three seconds to resolve.

What’s the term for a self answering question?

The fact no one is ever prosecuted is the reason it goes on for years or even decades.

And, I suspect that the trend will only continue. Both of them.

I’d like to know how they explain the need for those records to be erased at all. No explanation stands except erasure of concrete evidence of fraud.

Recall the big investigation into Maricopa Counties obvious imbalance by CyberNinjas a few years ago. Months of effort finding nothing solid only to discover security had let reps from the voting machine company into the locked compound just prior to the operation.

No word since on who that was or even if it was further looked into. That’s Arizona’s reality in Cartel World.

Math doesn’t delete. It corners you with no way out eventually. It’s a matter of honest pursuit for the numbers.
