Michigan Closes Legislative Buildings Over Safety Concerns Before Electoral College Meeting
Officials said that Michigan Statehouse and Senate office buildings will be closed Monday as the Electoral College meets, citing security concerns.
“The decision was not made because of anticipated protests, but was made based on credible threats of violence,” Amber McCann, a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, said in a statement to news outlets.
The Michigan state Capitol in Lansing will also be closed to the public, with only those essential for the Electoral College meeting allowed inside, according to local media.
McCann said Senate leadership does not have the authority to close the Capitol and that the decision to do so was made by the Capitol Commission.
