Michigan Governor Signs Bills Into Law Modifying Election Recounts
< < Go Back
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed bills into law this week that change the way election recounts are carried out in the state, prohibiting county canvassers to investigate allegations of fraud.
The text of Senate Bill 603 changes provisions around election recounts, and it states that a recount will not be an “investigation or an audit of the conduct of an election” and will not determine “the qualifications of electors participating in an election or the manner in which ballots are applied for or issued to electors.”
The recount process will be initiated in Michigan for precincts that show an “imbalance between the ballots collected and ballots issued as long as they provide a satisfactory explanation and a sworn affidavit in a form prescribed by the Secretary of State,” according to Ms. Whitmer’s office in a news release.
