LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. 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.
