Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoes 'fearmongering' bill targeting voter fraud

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has vetoed bills that would have made it a felony to apply for multiple absentee ballots or fill out an application for others without their consent.

Voter fraud is already a crime, the Democrat said, and the Republican-backed legislation would “muddy the waters” and “likely confuse voters” about what is considered criminal.

In a letter to lawmakers Friday, the governor said it is impossible to get a second ballot without spoiling the first one and pointed out that voters might submit multiple ballot applications due to memory or error.

... voters might submit multiple ballot applications due to memory or error.

OR "Democratic Party animals might submit multiple ballot applications due to fear of insufficient votes to win election races."

Fixed!

As I just posted on another thread, nothing will convince me that fraud in blue states didn’t account for Hillary winning the popular vote.

Make no mistake kiddies, the Marxists are out in full force to steal this country by stealing the election. Once America goes Communist the world will enter a Dark Age from which recovery will take generations not just an election or two.

Does making it a felony mean it goes to federal court where the State’s DA can drop the charges?

Guess she thinks it’s normal for some cities to have more votes than people.

Really ???

I have voted for the past 60 years.

I have NEVER EVER requested an absentee ballot.

I got one this year.

Did NOT open it.

Taking it with me to early vote in person & going to question officials WHY I got such a ballot.

She was dealt a severe blow when the Mich. SC said she can’t continue to count ballots 14 days after the election.
