20,000 Signatures on GOP-Led “Voter Fraud”
Petition in Michigan Were Fraudulent
June 7

Organizers of a Republican-backed
Michigan petition to enact voter
restrictions to combat would-be
voter fraud missed the state’s
filing deadline on Wednesday after
discovering tens of thousands of
fraudulent signatures.

Michigan Republicans are backing
the citizen initiative petition
known as Secure MI Vote which would
impose strict voter ID requirements,
restrict absentee voting and ban
private donations that help keep
polling places open. The petition
drive was launched after Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, vetoed
a slew of voting restrictions passed
by the Republican-led legislature.
Though the petition is ostensibly a
citizen initiative, voters are not
expected to see the measure appear
on the ballot. Republicans have
openly plotted all along to exploit
a bizarre provision in the state
constitution that allows the
legislature to adopt a citizen
initiative and pass it with a simple
majority that the governor cannot
veto.

Organizers had planned to submit
the petition to the state by
Wednesday’s deadline but abruptly
backed down after discovering that
around 20,000 signatures were
fraudulent.
