Citing a court case initiated in 2022, Visser v. Benson, the complaint alleges that Benson then worked in combination with the left-wing judges on the Michigan Supreme Court, specifically leftist Whitmer appointee Kyra Harris Bolden, who has helped to enable Benson’s dubious work as Secretary of State.

“From 2022 through early 2024, Attorney Benson, in her capacity as Michigan’s Secretary of State, suffered a string of court losses from judges across the spectrum ruling that her attempts to weaken transparency and verification in the administration of elections was contrary to law,” Hoekstra wrote.

 
“In the context of consistent rebukes from courts, and with a critical case impacting her power to unilaterally rewrite election rules being actively litigated before the Michigan Supreme Court, Benson made a historically large political campaign contribution to a sitting Michigan Supreme Court Justice. That large contribution appears to have been an attempt to influence the Justice’s pending decision. And after receiving that large contribution from Benson, the Justice in question wrote an opinion reversing the lower court rulings, thereby disregarding decades of precedent in order to allow Benson to continue her efforts to weaken Michigan Election Laws.”

Notably, just before a series of high court rulings in favor of Benson, Benson had given Bolden a whopping $82,500 campaign contribution from the PAC she controls.
