Resident distributes article alleging 2020 election irregularities; board records allegation without action
Summary
During general public comment, Marlott Township resident Carol Volts distributed an article alleging voting-machine irregularities tied to Dominion and cited an affidavit and a University of Michigan researcher; the board did not take action or provide a response on the record.
During the meeting's general public-comment period, resident Carol Volts of Marlott Township addressed the Sanilac County Board of Commissioners and distributed an article alleging election irregularities related to the November 2020 election and alleging Dominion employees and others were involved. Volts referenced an affidavit and media reporting and cited a University of Michigan researcher (Halderman) who, she said, had demonstrated vulnerabilities in voting equipment.
Volts presented the material as information for the board and said she would provide copies to commissioners. No board member responded to the allegations during the meeting, and the board did not take action or request an investigation on the record. The remarks were recorded as a public comment and treated as an allegation, not a verified finding.
"There was fraud with the voting machines and just election fraud in general back in November 2020," Volts said while distributing the article to the board, and she pointed to cited affidavits and reporting included in the packet she provided.
Because the statements are raised as an allegation in a public comment, they are reported here as claims raised by a member of the public; the record shows no on-the-record verification or follow-up action by the commissioners at the meeting.
