A Michigan Court of Claims judge has been asked to declare Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, in contempt of court for noncompliance with a court order.

The filing also requests that the court enforce the injunction it issued on Oct. 20, ordering Benson to correct the guidance she provided to state and local election officials that the court found didn’t comply with Michigan law.
