Chief Judge Christopher Murray ruled Benson did not have the power to create the rules. He said those ruled should have been created by the legislature.
Allegan County Clerk Bob Genetski filed a lawsuit in October and the ruling came down on March 9.
In addition, the ruling served as vindication for former President Donald Trump’s claim that Benson acted illegally.
