Benson said her 4-year-old son was about to start watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” on Saturday night when a group of protesters began chanting into bullhorns in front of her house.
Benson, whose office oversees elections in the state, called the latest protests “an extension of the noise and clouded efforts to spread false information about the security and accuracy of our elections.”
President-elect Joe Biden won Michigan by more than 154,000 votes, and there has been no evidence of fraud in the election.
In a statement to CNN, Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said there were “no arrests or violations of criminal law” during the protest. About 25 to 30 people attended, Shaw said.
“There were reports that some of the protesters were armed,” he said. “The protesters dispersed on their own.”
“They shouted baseless conspiracy theories about the election, and in videos uploaded to social media, at least one individual could be heard shouting ‘you’re murderers’ within earshot of her child’s bedroom,” the statement read. “This mob-like behavior is an affront to basic morality and decency.”
