We reported last week that in California, Attorney General Rob Bonta has replaced the language in the state’s voter guide to politically-biased language that have doomed several measures in the past.

But that’s nothing compared to the tactics in Michigan, where two Democratic members of the state’s canvassing board voted to disenfranchise 709,841 state residents who signed a petition improving election integrity.

The initiative’s sample of 1,000 signatures fell just three signatures short of certification for the ballot after the two Democrats refused to count the signatures of nine Michigan voters whose identities had been verified by a notary public.

The nonpartisan Michigan Elections Director Jonathan Brater told the canvassing board: “We would recommend counting that as valid.” The two Republicans on the board agreed. But Democratic member Heather Cummings replied curtly, “No.”

Ruth Johnson, who served two terms as Michigan’s Secretary of State, says it’s an outrage that “two unelected members of an obscure state board can strip away the constitutional rights of nearly one in 10 adults in our state who signed a petition to place this issue before voters.”

Backers of the voter ID initiative are appealing to the state’s highest court, and have also filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. The deadline for certifying ballot measures is this Friday.

Dems will do just about anything to tighten ballot security.  We wonder why!
