The state Senate elections committee is prepared to take up some voting reform bills Tuesday.
Republicans introduced 39 bills they claim are in response to concerns raised in last year’s defeat of President Donald Trump. The senate Elections and Ethics committee has three of the bills on their agenda this week.
But critics say the legislation is about “voter suppression”.
But state Senate minority leader Jim Ananich (D-Flint) says theses bills are not what Republicans claim.
“We’re going to fight hard to make sure that people understand these bills have nothing to do with the integrity of the ballot box,” says Ananich. “This has.nothing to do with increasing access. This (is) an attack on our voting rights.”
