Summary of Michigan Senate Passes Bills Threatening Election Integrity
The Michigan state Senate passed controversial election bills aimed at creating an "elections database and institute" and allowing non-voters to interact with voters at polls. The bills, including SB 401-404, have sparked bipartisan division and concerns over impacts on the election process, voting rights, and potential breaches of privacy. While Democrats view the bills as crucial for election protection, Republicans and critics see them as a threat to democracy, with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson playing a significant role in their development.
