Bureau of Elections denies Cheboygan County Commission's request to conduct election audit
Republican attempts to continue questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election faced another setback in Michigan on Wednesday after the Bureau of Elections declined a county commission's request to conduct an audit prompted by false conspiracy theories that votes were manipulated.
The Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners approved the request June 22. The commission sought the bureau's permission to investigate whether the county's voting machines were connected with "any unauthorized computer" that changed the results of the presidential election.
In an Aug. 4 letter denying the request, Director of Elections Jonathan Brater told the commission's chair, John Wallace, that the commissioners lacked the authority under state law to conduct or supervise post-election audits. Michigan election law only allows the Secretary of State and county clerks to carry out election audits, Brater wrote.
