Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson took a recent loss in a mail-in ballots case.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are fiercely competing for Michigan’s 15 electoral votes, separated by no more than 1% or 2% in most polls, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The Republican National Committee and the Michigan Republican Party sued over Benson’s guidance to local election officials to process and count mail-in ballots with missing stub numbers, or lacking a ballot matching number.
In an Oct. 3 ruling, Michigan Judge Brock A. Swartzle ruled that guidance must be corrected. It also denied Benson’s motion for summary judgment.
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley posted on X, formerly Twitter, Tuesday about the victory in Michigan, as well as a win in New Hampshire to ensure voter ID laws are in place.
