In our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at St. Joe-Benton Harbor News have submitted a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. The request was sent to the Cass County Election Division in Michigan and is specifically seeking information about the pre-election test reports for election voting machines.
The requested records are sought in an electronic format, preferably PDF, and should include specific fields such as the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status indicating whether the test passed or failed.
