It would block access to the ballot for millions of Michiganders who lack the right documents to comply but are American citizens and eligible to vote. Regardless of the next steps for this resolution, whether it\u2019s legislative or citizen ballot initiative, Michigan must reject this clear voter suppression,\u201d <\/span>said Quentin Turner, Common Cause Michigan Executive Director.<\/span><\/b>\r\n\r\nHJR-B would cause several problems for current eligible voters, including:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Additional hoops:<\/span><\/b> Voters would have to prove their U.S. citizenship multiple times. Even if voters have been registered for decades, the bill leaves it up to future legislatures which documents are allowed any time a voter\u2019s registration is updated. This would cause confusion and could allow future legislatures to institute extreme restrictions. A driver\u2019s license or REAL ID are not sufficient. Voters whose names do not match the birth certificate (like a married Michigander) may be removed from the voter roll.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Additional financial burden on voters:<\/span><\/b> Voters would have to cover the expense of jumping through these hoops. That means having to pay for any necessary documentation including passports, copies of birth certificates, or copies of marriage licenses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • Long lines:<\/span><\/b> Election officials would be buried in red tape, causing delays and confusion at polling places without additional support.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
          \r\n \t
