Michigan Fair Elections breaks down the articles within the official impeachment doc.

Article Two addresses Benson’s dealing with of state elections. It notes she is chargeable for administering elections “in a safe method and responding appropriately when questions are raised.” However the legislators contend Benson “has did not adequately reply to the issues of the folks, and thus has failed to meet her function as chief election officer.”
The ultimate article contests a significant plank in Benson’s marketing campaign for governor. When she introduced her run for governor on January 22 — illegally using state property to advertise her marketing campaign — she mentioned her focus as governor can be on “effectivity and transparency.” This text expresses issues relating to Benson’s lack of transparency and her refusal to speak.
