Michigan GOP could circumvent Whitmer with proposed changes to state voting laws
Fox News
Michigan Republicans this week proposed changes to state voting laws and have come up with a veto-proof way to circumvent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, according to reports.
"If that legislation is not passed by our Legislature, which I am sure it will be, but if it's not signed by the governor, then we have other plans to make sure that it becomes law before 2022," Ron Weiser, chairman of Michigan’s GOP, said in a video on social media, according to The Detroit News. "If that legislation is not ... signed by the governor, then we have other plans to make sure that it becomes law before 2022." "I have a veto pen, and I am ready to use that for any bill that is looking to make it harder for people in our state to vote." Weiser told the North Oakland Republican Club on Thursday that Republicans plan to put together various parts of their voting bills into a petition initiative that the Legislature could enact into law without Whitmer’s signature if it gets the required 340,000 signatures to get on the ballot.More Related News
