Bill Gelineau L. Todd Schleiger U. Taxpayers Party. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed a series of GOP election bills Friday that would have imposed strict ID rules on voters , barred election officials from accepting donations and prohibited the Secretary of State's Office as well as clerks from providing absentee ballot applications unless a voter specifically requested one. But Republican state lawmakers could soon have another chance to enact their election agenda without Whitmer in their way.
The Secure MI Vote petition initiative contains many of the changes proposed in the vetoed bills. If enough voters sign it and Michigan's Board of State Canvassers certifies it, GOP lawmakers could circumvent Whitmer's veto, enacting it without her signature. In a letter outlining her objections to the bills — SB , SB and HB — Whitmer echoed concerns voiced by Democratic lawmakers that the measures would disenfranchise voters. All three bills passed on party-line votes without any Democratic support.
Republican lawmakers who backed the measures argued the changes would boost confidence in elections. On Friday, voter advocacy groups applauded Whitmer's vetoes, saying the bills not only threatened to disenfranchise voters but also perpetuated misinformation about the security of Michigan's elections. Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers who have spearheaded the party's election agenda condemned Whitmer's decision.
