From the Associated Press — Michigan Republicans are proposing a slew of election bills that would require voters to submit a photo ID, prohibit the unsolicited mass mailing of absentee ballot applications, and restrict the hours in which people could drop their ballot in curbside boxes. Democrats say the legislation introduced Wednesday would suppress voting, months after some Republican
lawmakers falsely claimed the presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. Some measures appear destined to be vetoed by Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, while others may find bipartisan support. Republican senators, citing a surge in absentee voting, say changes are needed to ensure election integrity.
