Lansing Amid debate over whether the legislation went far enough, Michigan House members on Wednesday passed 13 bills and one joint resolution that proponents hope will boost transparency and ethics among lawmakers. 
The bills seek to create an ethics committee in each chamber, to require confidential financial disclosures from members and to prevent legislators and senior administration officials from lobbying for two years after leaving office. 
The bills move to the Senate next, where Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, has expressed concerns that financial disclosure requirements could discourage people from running for office.  ....

Michigan lawmakers conduct hearing on election reform bills


Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat,
has asserted the proposed package of bills is “more restrictive than Georgia’s.”
However, some of the proposed bills aim to prevent similar issues presented by a directive Benson issued last October, which directed city clerks to presume signatures were valid when matching absentee ballot signatures with the voter signature on file.
Although Benson’s directive was followed while votes in the November 2020 election were tabulated, it was struck down last month by Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher M. Murray.
“The presumption is found nowhere in state law, Murray wrote in his opinion. The mandatory presumption goes beyond the realm of mere advice and direction, and instead is a substantive directive that adds to the pertinent signature-matching standards. ....

GOP wants to split Michigan Electoral College votes. That would help the GOP.


That’s a system that would have allowed former President Donald Trump to evenly split the state’s electors with Biden, despite his loss.

It would encourage presidential candidates to campaign in diverse regions of the state, they told colleagues in committee.
“I’m not trying to rig the system for any political party obviously, both of them have massive flaws but we’ve got the situation in Michigan where a lot of people aren’t heard, and they don’t feel as though they’re being heard, and that their vote doesn’t count,” LaFave said.  ....
