Thursday’s charges against Stefanie Lambert came the same week as the arraignments of Matt DePerno, a GOP attorney general candidate who lost to Dana Nessel in 2022, and former GOP state Rep. Daire Rendon. Last fall, Nessel appointed Special Prosecutor D.J. Hilson to investigate whether to charge people Nessel’s office says tried to overturn Michigan’s support of President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Lambert, DePerno, and Rendon were named by Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office last year as having “orchestrated a coordinated plan to gain access to voting tabulators.” Investigators there say five vote tabulators were illegally taken from three counties and brought to a hotel room, where they were broken into and “tests” were performed on the equipment.
Last month, Nessel’s office also brought eight criminal charges each against 16 Republicans who she said submitted false certificates as electors for then-President Donald Trump in Michigan.
