FOIA Request to Presque Isle County Election Division Regarding Voting Machines Pre-Election Test Report on October 30, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at North Michigan News have submitted a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. The request specifically seeks access to the pre-election test reports for election voting machines in PDF format.
The fields we are interested in include the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed). These details are crucial for us to provide an in-depth analysis of the preparedness and reliability of voting machines ahead of the elections.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential for us. We believe that as members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a positive response from the Presque Isle County Election Division regarding this request.
