HILLSDALE, Mich. (MIRS News) – A township clerk in Hillsdale County who is accused of improperly handling voting equipment after casting doubt on President Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020 was recalled from office Tuesday night.

Unofficial results out of Adams Township showed the clerk, Republican Stephanie Scott, losing mid-term to independent Suzy Roberts, 406-214 with 30.90% of eligible voters casting a ballot.

The results come as Scott, who doubts the 2020 election results, asked a court to stop the Michigan Board of State Canvassers from proceeding with a recall against her. The effort obviously failed.

Scott alleged the township board, which voted to place the removal of her on the ballot, was “not lawfully allowed to cast such a vote” and that the hearing and procedures prior to that recall decision did not comply with Michigan’s election law.

“This lawsuit represents a flagrant violation of constitutional and statutory law on the part of defendants, both named and unnamed, who took it upon themselves to bully, harass, intimidate, and ultimately to constitutionally usurp … and/or to invade the powers and duties of Plaintiff Scott in her capacity as the Adams Township Clerk …,” reads the complaint filed by Detroit attorney Stefanie Lambert, who was among Texas attorney Sidney Powell’s group of attorneys who were sanctioned for filing a frivolous lawsuit in federal court alleging election fraud in the 2020 general election.

Scott, who was elected on Nov. 3, 2020, is asking the Court of Claims to stop the state from allowing “any and all tampering, deletion, erasing or adulteration” of November 2020 data.

Named defendants are Hillsdale County Clerk Marney Kast and county Chief Deputy Clerk Abe DANE, who are accused of acting on the Secretary of State or elections director’s direction to “encroach upon, usurp” Scott’s duties.

Scott also alleges that Kast, who sits on the county board of elections, should have recused herself because she has been involved with the investigation of the missing tabulator.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Elections Director Jonathan Brater are not named defendants.

The state intervened after Scott allegedly refused to allow a contractor to perform preventive maintenance on voting machines and failed to conduct accuracy tests, among other issues. She was stripped of her duties in October 2021.

The Hillsdale County clerk’s office took custody of an election tabulator and a voter assist terminal to prepare for accuracy tests, and they reportedly discovered the tabulator’s tablet had been removed. The tablet is the computer that contains software and election data.

Also on the county ballot today was a recall petition against Supervisor Mark D. Nichols. He, too, lost to Randy G. Johnson, 394-222.

Adams Township is located about 28 miles east of Coldwater in Hillsdale County.
