Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) invoked the possibility of voter intimidation when she announced this month that she was banning people from openly carrying guns at or around polling places.
“The presence of firearms at the polling place, clerk’s office(s), or absent voter counting board may cause disruption, fear, or intimidation for voters, election workers, and others present,” Benson, the state’s top elections official, wrote in her directive, issued on Oct. 16.
