#Michigan Republicans have filed a lawsuit trying to overturn two major voting rights measures passed by voters, directly overruling the will of their constituents.
Residents voted in 2018 & 2022 to approve constitutional amendments that would dramatically expand voting access, guaranteeing same-day voter registration, nine days of early voting, & absentee voting. Both measures passed with at least 60% support, & the state legislature has since passed laws to implement the new policies.
