Democrats Fear Michigan Will Follow Georgia in Tightening Voting Restrictions
On 4/6/21 at 11:11 AM EDT
Democrats have lambasted the Michigan Republican Party for turning its back on its supporters by tabling new laws intended to reform the state s voting system, in a move critics have compared to the recent electoral overhaul in Georgia.
Michigan Senate Republicans, led by Senator Mike Shirkey, on March 24 introduced 39 election reform bills, which if passed, mean there are much stricter thresholds to being able to vote.
Michigan Republicans are touting these laws as protection from election fraud which former President Donald Trump baselessly claimed was the reason why the November vote did not go his way. Democrats meanwhile say these bills will only make it more difficult to vote and discourage citizens from casting their ballots, particularly those in disenfranchised communities.
