EXCERPT:
On Aug. 8, Benson attempted to implement this November a Michigan SB 603 law banning election canvassers from conducting investigations of fraud and increases the costs of election recounts. The new law isn’t scheduled to go into effect before December of this year.
“By pushing to implement SB 603 via the rulemaking process before SB 603 becomes effective, the Bureau seeks to adopt rules that directly conflict with current Michigan law,” Luke Bunting, election integrity counsel for the Republican National Committee, wrote in a letter to Benson. “Simply put, the Bureau cannot do through the back door (rulemaking process) what the Legislature declined to accomplish through the front door (immediate effect).”
Sen. Jim Runestad, R-White Lake, agreed with Bunting in harsher tones. In a statement, Runestad said: “If Secretary Benson wants to be a lawmaker, she should run for the House or Senate. Until then, she should wait until bills become law before acting on them. The secretary of state is supposed to follow the state constitution, not bypass it to change election laws at will.”
