state in 2017. She worked with the <a href="/Democratic_National_Committee" title="Democratic National Committee">Democratic National Committee</a> and the Michigan Democratic Party to develop training programs for election law attorneys from 2004 to 2008, and she wrote a book she said was about the role secretaries of state play in defending democracy. Benson said she was “[c]ommitted to the nonpartisan operation of the Secretary of State’s Office” and said she “transformed its operations to provide faster and more convenient service for every Michigander…while ensuring that elections are free, fair, secure and accurate, and fighting to protect voting rights for all Michigan voters whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents.”<sup id="cite_ref-jocelyn_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jocelyn-1">[1]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-dfp1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dfp1-2">[2]</a></sup> </p><p>Karamo was a community college educator and podcast host. After serving as an official poll challenger during the 2020 election, Karamo said she witnessed fraud on Detroit’s absentee counting board, which motivated her to run for secretary of state.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> Karamo criticized Benson’s performance in office, saying, “Our voting rights consist of ballot access, ballot security, and preventing illegal ballots from being injected into the system and the current officeholder has not done a sufficient job in protecting our voting rights.”<sup id="cite_ref-wlns_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wlns-4">[4]</a></sup> If elected, Karamo said she would audit the state’s voter registration list. She said, “With so many people voting absentee we have to make sure that that voting list is accurate because we open the door for individuals to request ballots for people who are not Michigan citizens [or] do not exist…”<sup id="cite_ref-wlns_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wlns-4">[4]</a></sup> </p><p>As of November 2022, <a href="#Campaign_finance">campaign finance</a> reports from the Michigan Secretary of State’s office showed that Benson raised more than $5 million, Karamo raised more than $1 million, and Stempfle raised more than $7,000.

Although the specific duties and powers of the office vary from state to state, secretaries of state are often responsible for the maintenance of voter rolls and for administering elections. Other common responsibilities include registering businesses, maintaining state records, and certifying official documents. At the time of the 2022 elections, there were 27 Republican secretaries of state and 20 Democratic secretaries of state. </p><p>A <a href="/State_government_triplexes" title="State government triplexes">state government triplex</a> refers to a situation where the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state are all members of the same political party. Heading into the 2022 elections, there were 23 Republican triplexes, 18 Democratic triplexes, and nine divided governments where neither party held triplex control. As of 2022, Michigan was a Democratic triplex. </p> <p><a href="/Kristina_Karamo#Campaign_themes" title="Kristina Karamo">Kristina Karamo</a> (<a href="/Republican_Party" title="Republican Party">R</a>) completed <a href="/Ballotpedia%27s_Candidate_Connection" title="Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection">Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey</a>.

Winfrey</i> lawsuit about Detroit elections</span></h3> <p>On October 28, 2022, Karamo filed a lawsuit against the City of Detroit Board of Election Inspectors and Detroit City clerk challenging the method by which absentee ballots were “administered, returned and counted in the city. Specifically, the plaintiffs argue that absentee ballots should only be requested in person at an election clerk’s office, as opposed to online or by mail. They further argue that the individual requesting and casting an absentee ballot must verify their identity in person…Additionally, the plaintiffs allege that absentee ballots should not be returned via mail or drop box and instead should be submitted to an election clerk in person…Finally, the plaintiffs claim that the city’s use of Absent Voter Counting Board (“a precinct that may be established by the election commission of a city or township for the purpose of processing and counting absent voter ballots separately from precinct activity”) is illegal…”<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> The lawsuit “sought an injunction that would have required those who already voted by mail to do so again at a local polling station.”<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> </p><p>The Wayne County Circuit Court‘s decision on this case was released on November 7. Clara Hendrickson of <i>The Detroit Free Press</i> wrote, "In a blistering opinion issued the day before the midterm election, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Kenny Monday rejected a request from Kristina Karamo — the Republican vying to serve as Michigan's next chief elections officer — to expand election observers' access in Detroit's absentee ballot counting room and subject Detroit voters and election officials to a different set of rules than the rest of the state. In his order Monday, Kenny dismissed the lawsuit, which was filed less than two weeks before the midterm election and initially asked the court to halt the count of absentee ballots for the Nov. 8 election not requested in person by Detroit voters."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> </p><p>Karamo criticized the court’s decision in the following tweet on November 7: "Judge Kenny refused to allow ‘evidence’ of past violations, refused to hear from ANY of the plaintiffs witnesses, and decided the case only on ‘claims’ by the defendants of how they ‘intend’ to conduct this election. Then he proceeds to make false accusations against plaintiffs.”<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup> </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Endorsements">Endorsements</span></h2> <dl><dd><dl><dd><i>See also: <a href="/Ballotpedia:Our_approach_to_covering_endorsements" title="Ballotpedia:Our approach to covering endorsements">Ballotpedia: Our approach to covering endorsements</a></i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p>Click the links below to see official endorsement lists published on candidate campaign websites for any candidates that make that information available.
