Michigan Senate Passes Trio of Anti-Voter Bills

Every Michigander deserves to be heard by their government, regardless of their age, race, political party, or zip code. These anti-voter bills are just another blatant attempt to put up barriers between people and their right to vote. We urge the Michigan House to reject this partisan attack on Michigan voters’ constitutionally protected voting rights.

Common Cause Michigan today issued the following statement commending the State Senate for deciding not to take up the House’s highly restrictive voter ID bills during this lame duck session.

Michigan is clinging to outdated voter registration laws that make it more difficult for citizens to take part in the November 8 election, Common Cause says in a report released today, but the state's use of paper ballots provides assurance that all votes will be counted as cast.
