A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Ingham County Election Division in Michigan on October 30, 2024. The request, issued by Capitol News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought specific records pertaining to pre-election voting machine tests.
The requested records are specifically related to the pre-election testing of voting machines used in the county's elections. Capitol News has asked for these reports to be provided in PDF format and should include key details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and the status of each machine - whether it passed or failed the test.
As a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public, Capitol News believes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling its professional responsibilities. Therefore, it has also requested a fee waiver as part of its role in disseminating information to the public.
Capitol News remains available for any questions or clarifications needed regarding this FOIA request.
