Former Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott and her attorney Stefanie Lambert are set to face trial over alleged election data tampering during the 2020 General Election. Scott faces multiple felony charges, including using a computer to commit a crime, conspiracy, misconduct in office, and a misdemeanor for disobeying a Secretary of State order, according to the Department of Attorney General.
Lambert faces similar felony charges related to unauthorized computer access and using a computer to commit a crime, connected to an alleged incident involving a computer examiner accessing confidential voter data. The Michigan State Police referred the case to the Attorney General’s office, with charges announced in May 2024, involving potential violations of election law and voter privacy, as reported by the Department of Attorney General.
"The deliberate violation of voter privacy to push a false agenda and spew misinformation is reckless and illegal," Nessel said. The Department of Attorney General is pursuing charges against Scott and Lambert for allegedly mishandling residents’ election data. The trial will address claims that they violated election laws and compromised personal voting information, with officials emphasizing the protection of voter privacy.
