BREAKING: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson ordered clerks to DEFY federal & state law and DELETED ELECTION RECORDS in 7 days instead of the 22 month retention law.
Now, Jocelyn Benson will face a new lawsuit. Deleting election records alone should tell you everything you need to know. What were they trying to cover up? A rigged election.
Kevin Kijewski of KDK Law explains that Township Clerk Michelle McQueer just sued Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Elections Director Jonathan Brater, and the Michigan Department of State in the Court of Claims over a direct clash between state and federal law on electronic poll book, EPB records.
But there's a conflict:
- Federal law (52 U.S.C. § 20701):
Election records involving federal offices (including the Aug. 4, 2026 primary) must be preserved for 22 months (into June 2028). Willful failure to keep them risks up to 1 year in prison.
EPB files show who checked in, when, and on which device. Michigan’s 281 city clerks and 1,240 township clerks (the most decentralized system in the U.S.) all face the same bind.
- Michigan Admin. Code R 168.48, effective Oct. 23, 2025:
EPB software and files must be deleted within 7 days after certification. Willful destruction of public records risks up to 2 years (MCL 750.491). Refusing to delete risks up to 90 days (MCL 168.931(1)(g)).
The state rule creates an impossible choice, delete and risk federal prosecution, or keep the records and risk state prosecution, every path targets the clerk personally.
On July 6, 2026, McQueer formally requested a declaratory ruling and stay from Benson and Brater. 37 days of total silence followed.
Certification of the Aug. 4 primary is imminent this month. The 7-day deletion clock starts immediately after.
The rulemaking process was deficient: the public notice described only a "secure live connection to the voter file" and never mentioned deletion. No one attended the July 15, 2025 hearing. The two written comments addressed only the connection, not deletion.
The rule will also apply to the November general election.
Declaratory judgment on whether the state rule can be enforced against the federal preservation mandate, plus an immediate order preserving the existing records while the case is decided. No damages requested. The filing urges the court to act before the November election.
"A clerk should never have to choose which law to break." - Counsel Kevin Kijewski of KDK Law.
McQueer: "My job is to follow the law and serve the citizens of my township… I asked the state and received no reply, so I am asking a court for relief."
This man has a message for the families of those aboard the USS Lincoln
~You need to stop placating their b'ulls'hit, and tell them to toughen up, what you're doing is destroying the warrior mindset, that is supposed to be instilled in these sailors, the next time they call, tell them to toughen TF up
Iranian propaganda started this story about living conditions on the USS Lincoln, and the liberal media and Seditious Democrats like Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego ran with it
You're not getting all of the comforts of home aboard an active Aircraft Carrier while at War... that's just how it is... we thank you for your service, but let's grow a pair, and turn off CNN while on deployment
🚨MINNESOTA JUST GOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED
James O’Keefe and Cam Higby walked into Minneapolis polling places on primary day dressed in full Muslim garb and a burka… and the poll workers told them the quiet part out loud.
One registered voter = the ID for up to EIGHT unregistered people.
“You’re the ID.”
“I can vouch for them. They are not registered… That’s okay. That’s fine.”
“If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people.”
No standard ID required. Just a signature and a smile. Verification happens “after the fact.”
This is the system they still call secure.
This is how same-day registration works in Minnesota. This is how easy it is.
Every American needs to see this before the midterms.

" I hate Mackinac so much, It's funny, it's like if we win... this is gonna be like the summer home, like everytime I've ever come here, I've hated it "
Be a shame if the folks in MI seen what this Muslim thinks of beautiful Mackinac island
🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller lays it out PERFECTLY
Imagine a "native Minnesotan who works as a lineman...worried about his ability to support for and provide his family."
"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"
"THAT is the system that is being run and that is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the Vice President is going to demolish." @StephenM
BOOM! Lindsey Graham's Sister, Darline, says she REFUSES to let Senators take a 37 day vacation on taxpayer's dime unless the SAVE America Act is PASSED! Do you stand with Darline Graham?
If Senators tell us, “We don’t have the votes [for the SAVE America Act],”
then we are very happy to tell Senators the same thing when they are up for re-election:
“We don’t have the votes [for you].”
SCOTUS IMPEACHED?
Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts NEED to hear this.
A constitutional expert argues that Supreme Court justices can face impeachment by the President and Congress over alleged CORRUPTION or ABUSE OF CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.
Listen carefully!

The Taliban has announced a “miraculous” surge in its revenue and will cut income taxes by 50% in honor of its leader. The truth is that $40 million of your tax dollars is still sent to the Taliban every week. Tell Senator John Barrasso to defund the Taliban. Call (202) 224-6441.
BREAKING - The woman who made a video hoping Iran would find the downed service member and hold him hostage as leverage against the US has been identified as Melissa Halverson, who works as an administrative assistant at the Green Apple Pantry in Michigan.
You know what to do.
🚨 WOW! Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) is officially filing legislation to ABOLISH birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens following the Supreme Court ruling — he's using Justice BRETT KAVANAUGH'S concurrence to get it done, per Fox News
Using SCOTUS' Wong Kim Ark exception, Congress will move to DENY birthright citizenship to birth tourists and children of illegal aliens — that's EXISTING SCOTUS precedent 🔥
The "Citizenship Act" was specifically crafted based on the latest ruling.
BILL TEXT: "Any person who enters the United States without authorization or for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism is considered an invader."
Those invaders can NOT get citizenship. This goes around the amendment process, which would be virtually impossible to accomplish
VERY strong legislation that can stand up to the judiciary.
LFG! Fight for citizenship!
5 Republican Senators cannot remove Senate Majority Leader Thune.
It takes 5 Senators to force a party conference meeting,
but it would require 27 Senators to remove him.
Instead, we will primary a laundry list of incumbent Republican Senators in 2028 if they don’t give us the SAVE America Act.
Thank you, Texas & Louisiana.
🚨JAMES WOODS JUST BRUTALLY OWNED WOKE MATT DAMON ON GUTFELD AFTER DAMON CALLED HIM AN “UNINFORMED CULTIST” — WOODS FIRED BACK THAT HE WAS A RHODES SCHOLAR WITH A POLITICAL SCIENCE DEGREE WHILE DAMON WAS JUST PLAYING A GENIUS ON SCREEN DURING HIS WEINSTEIN YEARS!
🔗 https://t.co/4eHPt3PF7H
This is pure gold.
Conservative legend James Woods told Greg Gutfeld that his favorite Hollywood smackdown came when Matt Damon tried to come at him over politics.
Damon called Woods an “uninformed cultist.”Woods didn’t flinch. He clapped back immediately: “I let him know that while he was playing a genius on the big screen, I was getting a degree in political science as a Rhodes scholar.”
Woods and Gutfeld had a good laugh about how those were Damon’s “Weinstein years,” so Damon doesn’t like to talk about that time much.
Woods finished it with: “He doesn’t like those apples.”
Matt Damon got completely humiliated in front of the entire country. The guy who played a genius on screen got owned by an actual Rhodes Scholar who wasn’t afraid to say it out loud.
Hollywood elites keep trying to attack conservatives and they keep getting destroyed.
James Woods is a national treasure.
