So it Begins.... In Michigan!

[AmericanMan1958]

Michigan's Lame Duck session are known for their shameless attacks on the citizens of this state.
Laws are past at a expedient pace. Bill's are introduced and voted on within a couple of days. No committees, ignore all rules, vote, passed and straight to the Governor's desk for signature. Any Bill proposed during Lame Duck sessions in Michigan are going to pass, end of conversation.

Really, it should not be surprising in a state that would lead poison a whole city, then fight in court to not have to supply bottle water.
Welcome to the New Michigan!

Stricter voter ID laws on fast track to pass in Legislature

Just two days after the bills were introduced, controversial and stricter voter identification laws moved quickly out of a House of Representatives committee Thursday afternoon.

State Rep. Lisa Lyons, R-Alto, a term-limited state representative who won election Nov. 8 as the next Kent County Clerk, said she believes the integrity of elections needs to be strengthened, even though there have been only a handful of voter fraud cases brought in Michigan in the last several decades, according to the Secretary of State.

Her bills would require that legally registered voters who forget their photo identification on election day to vote a provisional ballot. That ballot would be set aside and not counted until the person provided their identification within 10 days after an election at their local clerk's office. Currently, a legally registered voter who forgets their ID signs an affidavit swearing that they are who they say they are and their vote is counted on election day. More than 18,000 people who forgot their ID signed affidavits and voted on Nov. 8.

1. Yes, we've seen this before. Nt

3. Yes, we have

Not sure how far they will go this session.

I know teacher pension are on the chopping block, also.

Seems to make little difference what they do. For they continue to keep winning elections.

Of course, we Dems will continue to argue about what we should of said and done to win elections.

When the truth is the deck is stacked against us and playing nice is not going to get it done.

2. She's also proposing to change the rules about future recounts.

4. Well we can't have recounts

When you ripe 300,000 votes off the voters list with cross-check.

Plus, with reports of over 87,000 people who voted, didn't vote for the Presidency, why would you want to verify no wrong doing.

Seems to be a total waste of time and money.

5. I can't wait to move out of the rotten State.
