(Mlive) – Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson speaks to reporters during a virtual press conference with national PAC End Citizens United / Let America Vote on Wednesday, March 30. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued a stern warning to voters Wednesday that “democracy is on the ballot” this November as Donald Trump-endorsed candidates continue to mislead voters over the results of the 2020 general election. Most of the virtual event focused on the candidates being backed by the former president, who is set to host a rally in metro Detroit on Saturday to build momentum for his hand-picked candidates: Kristina Karamo, who is running for Benson’s seat as secretary of state and attorney general candidate Matt DePerno.
