MI SoS Using State Resources for Partisan Projects (MI)

Reasonable Inference

MI Department of State Director of “Special Projects” Sally Marsh used state resources to conduct partisan GOTV projects targeting youth and ex-convicts as well as poll worker recruitment efforts. As the former Deputy Campaign Manager for the MI Secretary of State, her efforts as a state employee were likely biased in favor of Democrat interests especially considering the poll worker political party demographics evident in cities such as Detroit.
