LANSING, Mich. – Today, the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) provided 198 additional documents and 26 election training videos from the state’s Clerk eLearning Center to the House Committee on Oversight. These training materials are now publicly available online at Michigan.gov/ElectionTransparency.
The training documents and videos have been reviewed by MDOS staff and do not contain any sensitive information related to election security. MDOS previously provided more than 3,300 pages of election training documents and 17 videos to the Oversight Committee, which are all available online at the department’s Election Transparency web page.
Earlier this year, the House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas seeking full, unredacted access to all training materials in the Clerk eLearning Center, maintained by MDOS and the Bureau of Elections. On May 22, the department responded to the subpoenas reiterating its commitment to protecting any sensitive election security information in these materials that would enable someone to interfere with the chain of custody of ballots, tamper with election equipment, or impersonate a clerk on Election Day. MDOS also proposed that the committee agree to work with an independent third-party mediator to find the proper balance between transparency and protecting election security. The committee rejected the department's proposal and ultimately sued MDOS in the Michigan Court of Claims for unrestricted access to the training materials.
On July 22, Court of Claims Judge Sima Patel issued a court order for MDOS and the Michigan House of Representatives to participate in mediation under Court of Claims Judge James Robert Redford. That session is scheduled for Sept. 5.
