FOIA Request to St. Clair County Election Division Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Thumb Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. This request was sent to the St. Clair County Election Division in Michigan on October 30, 2024.
Our request specifically pertains to the pre-election test reports of voting machines used in the county's elections. We have asked for these reports to be provided in PDF format and to include key details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed the test).
As a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that by obtaining and disseminating this information, we can contribute towards ensuring free and fair elections in St. Clair County.
We await a response from the St. Clair County Election Division regarding our request and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
