Even as Macomb County continues to favor the ultimate election denier himself, former President Donald Trump, it’s still pretty remarkable that Genevieve Peters is now an employee in the Macomb County Clerk’s office, training election officials for the 2022 general election. Who’s Genevieve Peters, you ask? She worked hard in 2020 promoting the now-proven false claims that President Joe Biden stole the election from Trump, and even live-streamed a protest outside of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s home when Benson said she was home with her young son. Peters was also at the January 6, 2021, rally in Washington D.C., which led to the Capitol insurrection. Republican Macomb Clerk Anthony Forlini seems not to care that others are bothered by Peters hire, stating she has election experience and “has been an excellent employee.”
