LANSING MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Those in favor of an effort to change several voting laws in Michigan will begin to collect signatures soon.
The Secure MI Vote group received approval from the State Board of Canvassers last week to begin their petition drive to have the proposals placed before state lawmakers, with the proposal getting the most attention being the one that would require a voter to show an ID when getting a ballot.
If the voter could not, they would have six days after the election to present one to a clerk.
If they could not, their vote would not count.
Critics say the proposals unfairly target minorities and low-income residents.
The group must collect 340 thousand valid signatures to send it to the legislature.
