LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s attorney general has announced charges against a former small-town clerk and an attorney who had supported attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the charges late Wednesday. Nessel alleges former clerk Stephanie Scott, a Republican, and attorney Stephanie Lambert allowed unauthorized access to a computer and its voter data in a search of fraud. Lambert’s attorney says his client didn’t violate the law. Scott didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The charges are the latest to be brought against people in multiple states who had been entrusted to ensure the security of election systems but instead allowed others to breach them.
