MCR Special Teams and the Mike Cox law firm served Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson with Southern Poverty Law Center-related court papers on Wednesday evening.Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox recently dropped his bid for the Republican candidate for governor. The highly unpopular Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is the likely Democratic candidate running for governor after being term-limited as Secretary of State.Jocelyn Benson, who the Gateway Pundit frequently refers to as “America’s most dishonest Secretary of State,” is familiar with lawsuits. Benson has been involved in 69 election-related lawsuits during her time as Secretary of State. That is more than the combined total of the previous four Secretaries of State.In addition to fighting an onslaught of election integrity-related lawsuits during her corrupt reign as Michigan’s top election official, it looks like she is about to be defending herself in yet another lawsuit. This time, Benson will potentially have to explain her role as a board member of the Southern Poverty Law Center during the same time the group has been accused in a federal lawsuit of paying hate groups like the KKK.According to a federal indictment unsealed in April 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements, and related offenses.Prosecutors allege the following:Between roughly 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid more than $3 million (later described in some reports as over $4 million) in donor funds to individuals associated with extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, and others.These payments went to informants the SPLC used to infiltrate or gather information on the groups.The indictment claims some of the money was used by the recipients for group-related activities, including (according to prosecutors) recruiting members and purchasing materials such as Klan robes and items used in cross-burning ceremonies.Prosecutors further allege the SPLC did not disclose these payments to donors and instead raised money on the premise that it was working to dismantle the very groups it was funding through informants.On August 12, 2017, the nation was shocked to witness the unexpected violence that erupted at the “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA. The rally was billed as a call for Americans to come together and defend against the destruction of historic statues by the Obama regime.Sadly, the “Unite the Right” rally ( the SPLC was allegedly secretly paying an informant to organize) resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, a counter-protester who was allegedly standing against the “hateful” protesters who were fighting to stop the destruction of historic statues in America.Curiously, Jocelyn Benson, who is also America’s most crooked secretary of state, was a SPLC board member in 2017 at the time of the violent Unite the Right rally.Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2017 List of Board of DirectorsIn 2018, the far-left Democrat operative Jocelyn Benson was elected as Michigan’s Secretary of State after losing her first Soros-funded bid in 2014. Curiously, prior to the 2018 election, Benson’s online profile appeared to be scrubbed, removing any evidence of her ties to the radical SPLC hate group.Jocelyn Benson 2017 SPLC Board Member- Unite the Right RallyFormer Michigan AG Mike Cox wants to force Jocelyn Benson to answer to the public about her role in the payments to hate groups like the KKK while sitting on the board at the SPLC hate group.Cox posted a warning to Benson on X:“Jocelyn Benson – you can run, but you can’t hide.” He warned. “You’ve been served,” he added.Cox explains, “You served on the board of the SPLC that is now federally indicted for funding hate groups like the KKK while also serving as Michigan’s Secretary of State.Michigan deserves the truth about what she knew, how involved she was, and I will not rest until voters get that transparency.”.@JocelynBenson you can run, but you can’t hide.

See you in court Jocelyn pic.twitter.com/3H4EToWUiW— Michigan College Republicans (@MichiganCRs) July 29, 2026 Benson has a history of being accused of mistreating black peopleIn addition to her potential role in SPLC’s payment to hate groups, Benson is currently in the midst of her second discrimination lawsuit in two years.In August 2025, Benson’s office reached a separation agreement with her former black, female employee Angela Harness that included a payment of $775,000.Harness was a department director (Director of Quality and Customer Experience) at the Michigan Department of State.She filed a notice of intent to sue the department, alleging a racially hostile work environment and related discrimination/retaliation issues.In January 2026, four Black employees of the Michigan Department of State (three current and one former) filed a civil lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court against MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Michigan Department of Statethe State of Michigan and several senior staff members.The suit alleges racial discrimination, retaliation for complaining about unfair treatment, a racially hostile workplace, and violations of Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. The plaintiffs claim a pattern of preferential treatment for white employees and other discriminatory practices.The brave plaintiffsThe brave plaintiffs consist of three current Black staffers – David Murray, Elvine Vanbolden, and Mychael Foster – plus former high-ranking Nirva Civilus, who has been with the state for over 21 years.Elvin Vanbolden – LinkedInNirva Civilus – LinkedInThey’re calling out Benson’s crew for a “widespread” pattern of retaliation against black employees who dare speak up about discrimination. “Defendants have no effective system in place to track, correct, or prevent this unlawful discriminatory conduct,” the complaint explains.The fireworks don’t stop with the testimony of these 3 individuals- the lawsuit includes an affidavit from former Assistant Secretary of State Heaster Wheeler – a Black powerhouse who cited rampant racial discrimination as a top reason for ditching the sinking ship. Wheeler isn’t even a plaintiff, but his testimony is pure dynamite, pulling no punches on the department’s failures.As usual, whenever her back is against the wall, whether it’s being caught committing voter fraud or making it easier for voter fraud to be committed in Michigan, Benson’s office is in full denial mode. They are labeling the claims against Benson as “absolutely false” and trotting out supposed “clear” policies on vehicle use and hiring. Spokeswoman Angela Benander parroted the party line: “The secretary and department leadership do not tolerate any harassment, discrimination, or retaliation.” Tell that to the black employees who felt targeted while working for her.
