Michigan County Divided Over Recall of Election Result Denying Clerk

A recall election is being held in Adams Township, Michigan, for township clerk Stephanie Scott, who has been accused of spreading misinformation and mishandling a vote tabulator. Scott has denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The recall election is a reflection of the deepening tensions within rural and conservative Hillsdale county, Michigan, where a faction of hard-right party members within the county GOP took control of the party, renouncing more than 60 local GOP delegates who did not share their political vision and rallying around false claims that the presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.
