2024 Election Integrity

To: Dir. Benson

From: A verified voter in Nashville, MI

June 23

As a Michigan voter deeply committed to the integrity of our elections, I am writing with concern regarding the 2024 election. While I appreciate your office’s execution of risk-limiting audits and your efforts to uphold voter confidence, recent reports of unmonitored firmware updates, remote-access satellite technologies, and unexplained audit-log deletions demand a more comprehensive review. Though the Michigan Board of State Canvassers certified the 2024 results unanimously , I believe that our election—despite procedural rigor—may not have been fully safeguarded from external influence or covert manipulation. I respectfully request that you take the following immediate actions: 1. Initiate a full forensic audit of the 2024 general election statewide, including hand recounts in selected jurisdictions where anomalies or reported discrepancies occurred—especially areas with known technical issues, such as Calhoun County . 2. Release and preserve all voting system logs, firmware records, chain‑of‑custody documentation, and any satellite/communication data, enabling independent cybersecurity experts to confirm there were no unauthorized firmware installs, remote commands, or destructive log deletions. 3. Provide the public and Legislature with clear, detailed information about your office’s risk-limiting audit metrics, protocols, and outcomes—not only for 2024 but for future elections—to build trust that vigilance is ongoing . 4. Establish a secure, bipartisan oversight process to review future election-related audits and certification decisions — balancing transparency with protection against misuse of sensitive election security information . Michigan stands out as a leader in election security, and your commitment to rigorous audits and voter outreach has strengthened our system . However, emerging concerns about modern technology and unseen vulnerabilities require proactive, transparent leadership—not only to reassure voters but to future-proof our democratic process. I trust you share my goal: that every Michiganian can be confident their vote counts—and that election systems remain impervious to manipulation. I urge you to act swiftly and decisively to initiate these measures. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to secure and reliable elections in Michigan.
