The Michigan Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Board of State Canvassers must certify a ballot question to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act, because enough valid signatures were submitted.
That s the act Governor Gretchen Whitmer relied on to declare an extended state of emergency during the pandemic.
Two members of the Board had voted not to certify. They said they wanted to investigate problems with how signatures were gathered by the ballot drive s organizer, Unlock Michigan.
