Michigan Court of Appeals Dismisses Charges Against Election Worker

The court ruled that the worker's downloading of voter information did not meet the legal criteria for election fraud.

James Holkeboer, a poll worker in Kent County, was accused of downloading voter information but was not found to have altered any election data.
The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that the prosecution failed to prove all elements required for a conviction under election law.
Holkeboer's actions, while deemed improper, did not affect the outcome of the 2022 primary election.
Kent County officials expressed disappointment with the ruling and indicated plans to appeal the decision.
The case has raised concerns about election security and the handling of voter information.
