Former Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said the election fraud allegations made in a recent lawsuit would warrant an independent audit to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election, according to a sworn affidavit.

Johnson, who is currently a Republican state senator, attested in an affidavit filed on Wednesday that she believes “court intervention” was necessary after reviewing allegations of election fraud detailed in a lawsuit filed earlier this week.
