MI: DePerno present for 'tests' on voting machines, court documents say
Matt DePerno, the former 2022 Republican attorney general nominee, was present as individuals met throughout Oakland County to perform “testing” and examinations on voting machines in 2021, court documents allege.
A brief filed by Special Prosecutor DJ Hilson on Aug. 10, said DePerno and co-defendant Stefanie Lambert Junttila were “frequently” present in Oakland County hotel rooms and residences where individuals examined voting machines following the 2020 presidential election that former President Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden.
The brief was filed in response to Lambert’s request to have the trial moved to Antrim County in northern Michigan, with Hilson’s office saying she “wholly failed to articulate why Antrim County would be the proper venue.”
In the document, Hilson’s office argues that Oakland County Circuit Court is the proper venue for trial “because the crimes were committed in Oakland County.” The brief also states “there has been no evidence that the tabulators were ever possessed in Antrim County by the defendants.”
Hilson alleges that DePerno and Lambert Junttila coordinated with Michael Lynch, a private investigator and co-defendant Daire Rendon, a former Republican state representative, to “investigate” the 2020 election which former President Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden.
