HOLLAND, MI (WHTC AM/FM) – A Holland man has filed a lawsuit, claiming the all voting machines in the state should be replaced with paper ballots for the upcoming August 2, 2022 primary election.
According to the political newsletter MIRS, Donald Wilson alleges the state failed “to provide safe and just elections” due to the use of “unaccredited” electronic voting machines.
Tthe Court of Claims suit is asking for an injunction so that “none of the voting machines in the state” can be used “for another election” and should be replaced with paper ballots beginning with the August primary.
Wilson also seeks an order that requires Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Elections Director Jonathan Bratter to “preserve all Nov. 3, 2020, general election” documents as well as provide him with correspondence relating to the certification of the electronic voting machines.
Wilson claims that he submitted a Freedom of Information Act request in December concerning the certification of the 2020 election and he paid the state’s required 50% deposit that totaled nearly $660. However, Wilson claims the SOS office has not filled the request.
Senator Ruth Johnson, a former Michigan Secretary of State, and former State Board of Canvassers chair Norman Shinkle are also named defendants inthe suit.
