Known as \u2064the &#8220;Michigan Voting Rights Act,&#8221; these bills\u2014SB 401, 402, 403, \u2064and 404\u2014were approved along \u2062party lines on September 17, led by\u200d a \u2062Democratic majority. Rep. Ann Bollin raised concerns about the implications\u2062 of these \u200cbills, particularly regarding their potential effects on the upcoming elections and\u2062 the responsibilities of election officials.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would\u200b create\u2064 an election database\u2064 and allow individuals to interact with voters waiting to cast \u2063their ballots, which opponents claim could compromise polling place integrity. The bills also include provisions to prevent \u200bperceived disparities in voter access, \u200destablish \u200ba centralized election database at a\u2064 public university, and require additional language assistance from clerks.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the bills\u2062 permit the distribution \u200dof food \u200cand comfort \u200bitems to voters by third parties, which \u2062some legislators, like Republican Sen. \u2064Ruth Johnson, believe could \u200dlead\u2062 to undue\u200c influence on voters. \u2063Johnson\u2064 and other critics warn these\u2064 measures could erode \u200destablished norms at polling places, while supporters, including Secretary of State\u2064 Jocelyn Benson, view the legislation as a means to enhance voter protection and access.<\/p>\n<p>The future of these bills is uncertain as\u200b they move to the state House for further \u200cdeliberation. The potential quick passage through the House\u200d could \u200clead to their immediate implementation, though this\u2064 would subsequently face scrutiny about the\u200b rule-making process. There are concerns about the funding required for these initiatives and the possible implications for local clerks who would bear additional reporting burdens. the Michigan \u2062Voting Rights Act\u200d has sparked significant debate about election practices \u200dand the balance between access and integrity in \u200dthe electoral process.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Michigan state Senate passed a slate of election bills that would pose a serious threat to election integrity, creating an &ldquo;elections database and institute&rdquo; and letting individuals interact with voters in line at the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bills 401, 402, 403, and 404 &mdash; which proponents call the &ldquo;Michigan Voting Rights Act&rdquo; &mdash; passed Sept. 17 along <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2023-2024\/Journal\/Senate\/htm\/2024-SJ-09-17-075.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">party<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senatorruthjohnson.com\/johnson-blasts-costly-and-unnecessary-election-bills-that-allow-candidates-to-talk-with-voters-inside-polling-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lines<\/a> in the state Senate, where Democrats hold a slim two-seat <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Michigan_State_Senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">majority<\/a>. The bill is now headed to the state House, where its timeline is uncertain, state Rep. Ann Bollin told The Federalist.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is bad legislation,&rdquo; Bollin, a Re said. &ldquo;I think this just further drives a wedge and removes responsibility.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The bills&rsquo; effective date is not set in stone since they still need to pass the House, according to Bollin. She laid out two potential scenarios that could occur if the bills pass the House.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>In one case, the bills could take effect the usual 90 days after passage, meaning they would not affect November&rsquo;s election.<\/p>\n<p>In the other case, Bollin said the bills could be changed to take effect immediately after passage. If Democrats rushed the bills through the House to be signed by Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, they would face a lengthy rule process that would still likely put their implementation beyond the election. But Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson could rush that process.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That rule process is something that generally takes months to process because you have a public hearing, public comment period,&rdquo; Bollin said. &ldquo;But Benson has shown that she is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/22\/michigan-secretary-of-state-tries-to-rush-potentially-illegal-rules-to-rig-the-november-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">willing<\/a> to request waivers of the process, and I think that is totally unfair to the voters and to our local clerks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Republican state Sen.

She raised concerns the center could compromise the privacy of &ldquo;proprietary information.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s supposed to be guarded by the secretary of state and our local and county clerks,&rdquo; Bollin said. &ldquo;I find this to be a great breach of the public&rsquo;s trust, and there is no reason that we have to involve a public university in our election process.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Wheat, Johnson&rsquo;s chief of staff, told The Federalist the institute would collect data seemingly &ldquo;for the purpose of handing it over to interest groups to sue local units of government and clerks.&rdquo; He said this became a concern because the data might become available to &ldquo;outside interest groups&rdquo; and could be used as <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2023-2024\/billanalysis\/Senate\/pdf\/2023-SFA-0401-F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evidence<\/a> in lawsuits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SB 403 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2023-2024\/billengrossed\/Senate\/pdf\/2023-SEBS-0403.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">requires<\/a> clerks in many communities to print election materials in languages other than English.

The legislation, known as Senate Bills 401, 402, 403, and 404\u2014referred to by supporters as the &#8220;Michigan Voting Rights Act&#8221;\u2014was passed along party lines on September 17, with Democrats holding a narrow two-seat majority. The bills are now moving to the state House, where their future is uncertain according to state Rep. Ann Bollin.<\/p>\n<p>Bollin criticized the legislation as detrimental, stating it exacerbates divisions and diminishes accountability. The effective date of the bills remains unclear since they must still be approved by the House. Bollin outlined two possible outcomes if they pass: either they could take effect after the standard 90-day period post-passage\u2014meaning they wouldn&#8217;t impact November&#8217;s elections\u2014or they could be amended for immediate implementation if rushed through by Democrats for approval from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.<\/p>\n<p>Bollin expressed concerns about potential expedited processes that might bypass necessary public hearings and comments due to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson&#8217;s willingness to request waivers.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator Ruth Johnson opposed these measures but was unsuccessful in her efforts. She argued that these bills extend beyond existing voting rights protections and set a dangerous precedent by allowing non-voters into polling places where they can interact with those waiting to vote.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 401 would prohibit election officials from actions perceived as creating disparities in voter participation or access based on certain racial criteria related to historical discrimination or racially polarized voting. This bill allows courts to determine remedies for alleged disparities which may include alternative voting methods or additional polling locations.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 402 proposes establishing a &#8220;voting and elections database&#8221; at a public research university by November 5, 2025; however, concerns have been raised about privacy issues regarding proprietary information collected within this database.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 403 mandates that clerks print election materials in languages other than English while SB 404 requires local clerks to provide more detailed information about changes in election methods without rejecting ballots viewed by others during voting.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, SB 404 permits individuals outside polling locations to offer food or necessities to voters waiting in line\u2014a provision Johnson believes could lead candidates or volunteers to influence voters improperly within polling areas.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats argue these bills enhance electoral protections; however, critics like Bollin hope for further public input before any final decisions are made on this legislation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":507,"featured_media":2343203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Michigan_Capitol_pediment.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[32644,4762,4601,5894,3740],"class_list":["post-2343202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-election-integrity","tag-legislation","tag-michigan","tag-politics","tag-senate"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Michigan_Capitol_pediment.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/507"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
