The claim: Michigan election bills are “designed to make it easier for people to vote”
Republicans in Michigan’s Senate recently unveiled a massive package of proposals to change election laws that they say will improve voting security and integrity, and boost voters’ confidence in the election process.
They’ve also pitched their reforms as expanding voting access.
“This package is designed to make it easier for people to vote and ensure our elections are conducted fairly and honestly,” state Sen. Michael MacDonald, R-Macomb Township, said in a statement, echoing similarclaims from other Republican lawmakers.
