Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said false claims or baseless conspiracies surrounding elections will "hurt our ability to do our jobs and threaten the security of our lives." "It leads to threats against us, against election officials, against local officials, against our families, our staff," Benson said. "And that is exhausting, to show up every day and do our job well and with integrity, whether we be Republicans or independents or Democrats."
