The House of Representatives of Michigan has introduced a resolution to impeach Jocelyn Benson, the Secretary of State, citing allegations of corrupt conduct in office and violations of state and federal laws. The resolution outlines several key accusations against Benson, including exceeding her authority, failing to maintain transparency, and inadequately addressing public concerns regarding election security and integrity. Specific instances of her alleged misconduct include issuing guidance that contradicts Michigan law, improperly handling election records, and contributing to a political action committee during an ongoing legal case that raised questions about her actions.

The resolution also highlights Benson's lack of responsiveness to public inquiries and her perceived threats against local election officials who challenge her directives. It asserts that her actions have undermined the constitutional separation of powers and have led to a loss of public trust in the electoral process. The House of Representatives plans to elect three members to prosecute the impeachment, as mandated by the Michigan Constitution, and will present the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for further proceedings.
