Michigan rejects DOJ request for 2024 election materials as politically motivated.

Michigan officials rejected a federal request for 2024 election materials from Wayne County, calling the demand baseless and politically motivated. The Justice Department, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, cited concerns over election integrity and previous fraud convictions to demand ballots, envelopes, and receipts. State leaders vowed to resist the move, arguing it aims to undermine public confidence in elections.
