The tablet “is the computer that contains software, an operating system, and some mirrored election data from previous elections,” said Abe Dane, Hillsdale County’s chief deputy clerk. It was later seized by Michigan State Police after Scott allegedly refused to turn it over. She was stripped of her duties in October 2021.Īnd when the Hillsdale County clerk's office took custody of an election tabulator and a voter assist terminal from township offices to prepare for a public accuracy test, they discovered the tabulator's tablet had been removed. The state intervened after Scott allegedly refused to allow a contractor to perform preventive maintenance and failed to conduct accuracy tests, among other issues. “Quite frankly, I was coming to a moral quandary of even running this election,” Scott told The Detroit News. When it came time to prepare for her township's November 2021 election, Scott said she had accuracy concerns and had considered paper ballots and a hand count before settling on using the same system. Some of those now running afoul of state election laws and rules continue to make unsupported claims of voting machine tampering and voter fraud as the reason for Trump's defeat. The ticket of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence received nearly 76% of the vote in the reliably Republican community, but Scott joined a crew of GOP elections officials around the nation who have questioned the accuracy of U.S. Stephanie Scott ran unopposed as a Republican first-time candidate when she was chosen in the same November 2020 election to handle the voting in Hillsdale County’s Adams Township, where about 2,200 people live along rural roads dotted with signs supporting Donald Trump. A small-town clerk accused of improperly handling voting equipment after casting doubt on President Joe Biden's election victory faces a recall election Tuesday in one of Michigan's most conservative counties.
