HUGE! Court Rules Defiant Michigan SOS Benson Can’t Manipulate Voter Rolls By Using Illegal Guidance to Clerks—ANOTHER Loss For America’s Dirtiest SOS—A Massive Victory For Election Integrity
On December 4, 2025, a Michigan Court of Claims judge delivered a crushing blow to Jocelyn Benson’s attempts to weaken mail-in ballot safeguards. In another significant victory for election integrity in Michigan, a Michigan Court of Claims judge has once again ruled against Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, striking down her “guidance” that allowed absentee ballots with mismatched or missing identifying numbers to be processed and counted as “challenged” rather than rejected outright.
In 2021, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was given an award for her “outstanding” election work that gave Basement Joe an inexplicable victory in the wee hours of the morning on the day after the 2020 election in Michigan, a state President Trump won in 2016.
The decision, handed down on December 4, 2025, reinforces a key anti-fraud safeguard enacted by the state Legislature in 2024, which mandates that ballots can only be tabulated when the unique numbers on the ballot stub and envelope match perfectly. Benson’s instructions had directed clerks to bypass this requirement, potentially opening the door to irregularities (or cheating) in absentee voter ballot processing.
This latest defeat marks yet another instance of Michigan’s crooked Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson being slapped down by a Michigan court for abusing her authority to loosen critical protections around mail-in voting. The suit, which was brought by the Republican National Committee, the Michigan Republican Party, and Chesterfield Township Clerk Cindy Berry, highlighted how Benson’s directives disregarded legislative intent to prevent fraud by ensuring ballot traceability.
Michigan’s dishonest secretary of state recently refused a request by the DOJ to turn over Michigan’s undredacted voter rolls. The defiant Benson, who is currently running to become the Democratic Party’s candidate for Michigan governor, made a video explaining that the reason she’s refusing to turn over her corrupt voter rolls is that she’s protecting the privacy of Michigan citizens by not revealing their social security numbers to the federal government, the same federal government that issues their social security numbers.
As Benson eyes a run for governor, these repeated courtroom losses underscore a pattern of prioritizing partisan convenience over the secure, lawful administration of elections that Michiganders deserve. Thanks to the RNC and dedicated local officials like Clerk Berry, vital safeguards are being preserved to protect the integrity of our vote.
