Benson recall petitions rejected by Board of State Canvassers [View all]
A Michigan elections board rejected an effort to recall Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson Friday.
Two recall petitions alleged Benson misused state resources and took too long to settle campaign finance complaints. The petition sponsor wasn’t at Friday’s meeting of the Board of State Canvassers, leaving attorneys for Benson to pick them apart before the board.
One recall petition alleges “Secretary Benson is taking far longer than the statute allows to investigate and resolve complaints made under the Michigan Campaign Finance Act.”
Attorney Rowan Conybeare said that wasn’t specific enough for what Michigan law requires of recall petitions.
