The Michigan House of Representatives declared Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in civil contempt on May 22 for defying a subpoena and refusing to turn over remaining election training materials that lawmakers are seeking for legislative oversight.
The contempt resolution against the Democratic secretary of state was adopted in a 52–47 party-line vote. It directs House legal counsel to take the proper steps necessary, including litigation, to ensure compliance with the subpoena.
