New over on @votebeat.org: Stan Grot, accused of being one of 16 Michigan "false electors," is back running elections after charges against him were dropped www.votebeat.org/michigan/202...

Longtime clerk accused of being a “false elector” can once again run elections after charges dropped Stan Grot was barred from administering elections after he was charged with a number of felonies in 2023. After a judge dismissed those charges, he’ll run his township’s elections once again.
