Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) is set to receive an award next month for “defending democracy” against those who raised concerns about the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, Benson and other Michigan Democrat leaders have a history of expressing concern about Republican-won elections or exploiting the electoral college process. “Protesters called Benson a ‘traitor’ and a ‘criminal’ for defending the certification of Michigan’s accurate results, which favored Joe Biden,” the award description read. Benson has however raised her own questions about the presidential election results in 2000, 2004, and 2016, a point the Michigan Republican Party detailed thoroughly in January. For too long, they’ve said one thing and done another and voters across the country but especially in Michigan have had enough.
