Two Republican election integrity activists on Oct. 1 requested an investigation into a campaign donation received by a Michigan State Supreme Court justice from a PAC tied to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
The donation arrived as the judge was on a panel considering an appeal filed by the secretary of state.
In his request for investigation, Colbeck alleged Benson’s campaign donation to a Michigan Supreme Court Justice at a time when the court had a lawsuit with Benson as a defendant before it “constitutes a serious ethics violation and misconduct as a member of the Michigan Bar Association.” Benson did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.
The ruling overturned a decision by the Michigan Court of Claims, and a subsequent 3–0 Michigan Court of Appeals ruling upholding the lower court’s decision, that Benson’s guidance regarding poll challengers violated state law and, therefore, had to be modified.
The building is home to the Michigan Supreme Court.
She ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Michigan Supreme Court in November 2022.
Bolden’s office referred inquiries to the spokesman for the Michigan Supreme Court, John Niven, who declined to comment.
