Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s lax residency directive is ‘unconstitutional and unlawful,’ the RNC lawsuit alleges.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is violating the state’s constitution and breaking the law through a directive allowing individuals who have never resided in Michigan to vote in the Great Lakes State’s elections, a lawsuit filed Friday by the Michigan GOP and the Republican National Committee alleges.
The complaint, exclusively obtained by The Federalist, takes issue with the secretary of state’s guidance on overseas voters who generally fall under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. The lawsuit asks the court to block Benson’s edict and issue a declaratory judgment that the secretary’s guidance is contrary to the law.
It’s a do-over, so to speak, of a similar lawsuit filed less than a month before last year’s presidential election. In that case, Judge Sima Patel of the state’s Court of Claims tossed the complaint. Patel, appointed to the bench by leftist Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, cited the election integrity-killing laches doctrine in scolding Republicans for bringing the complaint too close to the election. The liberal judge wrote that the lawsuit was an “11th hour attempt to disenfranchise these electors in the November 5, 2024 general election.”
Now, the laches doctrine is no longer in play, but the election-integrity problem remains.

I wonder if there is a way to know how many judges in America at all levels are foreign born? What is the percentage of the whole?
That’s rich, the AG is a rat Lesbian activist. The Rats stole the MI SC in 18 that set up the rest.
Let’s say it is all true, she is charged, a trial takes place and she is found guilty. Then she gets a slap on the hand type sentence. Undermining the integrity of an election should have very serious consequences, maybe the kind that gets you decades in prison. This is the only way you’re gonna stop it!
You gotta give the Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats credit for creativity in stealing elections.
Just like AZ in 22 this bitch is going to use her position as SOS to steal the Governors race.
Benson is NOT the gay member of the Evil Trifecta. She has a husband who is employed by the company (Maybe indirectly) pushing for data centers on Michigan. His name is Ryan Friedrichs.
I’ve read that 1/3 of the judges on the DC circuit are foreign-born.
I think you replied to the wrong post. See #5
Yes, it should have been #4.
