On Friday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed three bills to do with election integrity, claiming it would disenfranchise voters, as Clara Hendrickson reported for the Detroit Free Press.
Many of the provisions may still appear on the Secure MI Vote petition initiative, which would pass election integrity for Michigan if enough voters sign it and Michigan's Board of State Canvassers certify it.
The bills in question included SB 303, which would have further strengthened voter ID in the state by eliminating the option for voters who do not have a photo ID to sign an affidavit to confirm their identity in order to vote.
SB 303 also banned election officials from sending absentee voter applications unless a voter requested one.
SB 303 also proposed election funding restrictions and a ban against election officials providing absentee ballot applications to voters unless a voter requests one.
Another bill, SB 304 would have put in place stronger voter ID laws in place for those issued a provisional ballot.
Democratic members of the Michigan Board of Canvassers have been up to shenanigans before when it comes to a certifying a voter initiative to repeal the Emergency Powers of Governor Act.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
