Michigan GOP moves to overhaul voter ID to Whitmer desk
Michigan House Republicans advance a package tightening in person and absentee voter ID rules, banning unsolicited absentee ballot applications, cutting election funding, and offering free state IDs. Provisions include provisional ballots for noncompliant voters and same day ID services for elections. The bills head to the Senate and likely a veto from Gov. Whitmer.
