Two Republicans on the four-member board voted to certify petitions deemed sufficient by the Bureau of Elections, which estimated more than 460,000 valid signatures were collected from Michigan voters. But Democrats voted against certification, citing questionable collection practices by paid circulation firms. Spokesperson Fred Wszolek said Unlock Michigan will appeal the canvasser decision through the state courts, likely within days. “There’s an unending conga line of Supreme Court precedent that they have one job to do, which is to approve the staff report” from the Bureau of Elections that recommended certification, Wszolek said. “I’m very tempted to seek sanctions and court costs from the two (Democratic) canvassers for this mess.”
