Lansing A county commission in rural northern Michigan can t require local election officials to provide access to their voting equipment for a so-called forensic audit, says a letter from the state s election director, Jonathan Brater.
The letter dated last week comes as the Republican-controlled Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners contemplates whether to allow an outside group to audit the county s voting machines amid an ongoing push by supporters of former President Donald Trump to question the results of the 2020 election. The Michigan election law entrusts clerks with choosing and maintaining their voting systems and does not provide any authority for county commissions to take control of this equipment, Brater wrote Cheboygan County Clerk Karen Brewster on Thursday.
The ramifications of former president Donald Trump’s ceaseless attacks on the 2020 election are increasingly visible throughout the country, as voters demand new reviews of the 2020 contest.
