To the Editor: Governor Whitmer in July signed off on several bills that will seriously change our election laws. Thanks to the Democrats in Lansing who looked on Prop 2 as just a starting point, we now have: ■ Up to 30 days of early voting if a county can afford it ■ Out of state drivers licenses and IDs to be accepted at the polls which when combined with same day registration opens a minefield for vote fraud) ■ If applying for an absentee ballot not in person and the signature doesn’t match the records when the clerk checks, the applicant must be provided a chance to ‘correct’ it ■ No provisional ballots allowed if an ‘affidavit of identity’ is signed ■ Perpetual mailing of ballot requests to the same address ■ Only election officials can conduct post-election audits Thanks to this packet of ‘reforms’ our election integrity is seriously harmed.
