Michigan’s Senate advanced Bill 707 to fine $1,000–$10,000 for intentionally spreading election "misinformation." Sounds clear? It’s not.
Critics ask: who defines “misinformation”? How do you prove intent? Vague language + state enforcement = potential censorship. Supporters say it fights modern voter intimidation. Opponents fear it erodes free speech. In a swing state, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
