From the Associated Press — Governor Gretchen Whitmer has vetoed legislation that would have required voter registration applications to include a statement that the applicant understands it’s a felony to try to vote more than once in the same election. Her office announced the veto late Friday, saying the bill was part of
a larger package of election measures that wasn’t negotiated and aims “to restrict or chill access to the ballot.” The Democratic governor has blocked a number of Republican-sponsored election bills over the past seven months, saying they would have perpetuated falsehoods to discredit the 2020 election or made it harder to vote.
