Michigan secretary of state says she expects election results to be certified day after Nov. 5
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) said she expects her state’s election results to be certified the day after the Nov. 5 general election.
“In 2020 we had the results of our highest turnout election in Michigan history within 24 hours of the polls closing. The unofficial results were completed by 8 p.m. Wednesday, so we’re tracking that again this year,” Benson said Sunday on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”
Benson said she is optimistic that this year’s results could come back even sooner because the state has more options to process ballots than it has in the past.
“That said, we will always prioritize accuracy and security over efficiency,” she said.
