Special prosecutor named in Michigan voting machine case – By Craig Mauger (The Detroit News) / Sept 8, 2022
Lansing — D.J. Hilson, Muskegon County’s prosecutor and a Democrat, will serve as the special prosecutor to decide whether charges should be brought against nine individuals who allegedly engaged in a “conspiracy” to gain improper access to Michigan voting machines after the 2020 presidential election.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council announced Hilson’s assignment on Thursday morning. He’ll now have to weigh evidence collected through a months long investigation by the Michigan State Police and Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office.
Among those whom Nessel’s office referred to a special prosecutor for potential charges on Aug. 5 were Republican attorney general candidate Matt DePerno, Nessel’s general election opponent.
