MCR Special Teams and the Mike Cox law firm served Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson with Southern Poverty Law Center-related court papers on Wednesday evening.
Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox recently dropped his bid for the Republican candidate for governor. The highly unpopular Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is the likely Democratic candidate running for governor after being term-limited as Secretary of State.
Jocelyn Benson, who the Gateway Pundit frequently refers to as “America’s most dishonest Secretary of State,” is familiar with lawsuits. Benson has been involved in 69 election-related lawsuits during her time as Secretary of State. That is more than the combined total of the previous four Secretaries of State.
In addition to fighting an onslaught of election integrity-related lawsuits during her corrupt reign as Michigan’s top election official, it looks like she is about to be defending herself in yet another lawsuit. This time, Benson will potentially have to explain her role as a board member of the Southern Poverty Law Center during the same time the group has been accused in a federal lawsuit of paying hate groups like the KKK.
According to a federal indictment unsealed in April 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements, and related offenses.
