Michigan Senate votes to tighten restrictions around election recounts
The Michigan Senate voted Tuesday to tighten the state’s laws around election recounts.
Among the changes would be a new requirement that recount petitions be filed with a good faith belief that the number of challenged votes could change the election outcome.
Package co-sponsor Senator Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) described the changes as “common sense.”
“It’s modernizing our recount law and giving our clerks greater assurance of what to expect, as well as giving petitioners greater ability to actually ensure that the recounts that they’re calling for get to ... more accurate results,” Chang said.
