Not only have the Republicans come up with a bill loaded with voting reform but they have also found a way to implement it so that leftist Gov Gretchen Whitmer cannot veto the legislation. This is huge considering the unholy mess they had in 2020.
The Republicans have decided to combine the various bills into one bill and it would become a petition initiative that would need 340,000 valid signatures and then Whitmer would not get a chance to veto the bill.
This bill if passed would also prevent SOS Benson from making up any voting laws she feels would help the Democrats. There are voter integrity laws making their way through state legislatures that will ensure fair and honest elections. Georgia has already passed their law which was signed into law by Gov Brian Kemp.
The Democrats have cried bloody murder and claim the bill is racist. Anything that does not fit Democratic ideology is racist.
Michigan GOP Chairman Ron Weiser reportedly told the North Oakland Republican Club on Thursday laid out the Republican strategy to0 get the bill approved without Whitmer’s consent.
Republicans had written dozens of bills bringing voting laws that would ensure fair elections but have now combined them all into one bundle that cannot be vetoed as long as they get the required 340,000 votes.
Weiser said:
“If that legislation is not passed by our Legislature, which I am sure it will be, but if it’s not signed by the governor, then we have other plans to make sure that it becomes law before 2022.”
“That plan includes taking that legislation and getting the signatures necessary for a legislative initiative so it can become law without Gretchen Whitmer’s signature.”
“The voters have spoken on election reform,” Barnes said. “The MIGOP has decided to ignore the will of the voters with this ridiculous package of bills designed to make it harder to vote, especially for Black and Brown citizens.”
She added, “This is how the Michigan Republicans do business. First, they lose. Then they lie. And then they find ways to suppress the vote, because even they know that when people vote, Democrats win.”
The Michigan GOP did not respond to The Detroit News’ request for comment.
Some say that the Democrats win even when people don’t vote.
