(Reuters) - Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said dozens of armed protesters gathered in a threatening manner outside her home on Saturday evening chanting "bogus" claims about electoral fraud.

Michigan officials last month certified the state's election results showing President-elect Joe Biden had won the state in the course of his Nov. 3 election victory. President Donald Trump and his supporters have challenged the outcome in a slew of futile lawsuits, and Biden is to take office on Jan. 20.
