care about "federal law?"

You think Moscow Mitch letting him skate through the Impeachment trail taught him a lesson?

Currently, any registered voter in MI can vote "absentee", no reason needed. But, you have to 1) request an application (available online), 2) fill it in, 3) mail it or take it to the local city clerk or equivalent. Then, when the ballot arrives, fill it in, mail or deliver to the clerk.

The only thing the Secy of State is bypassing is step 1. You don't have to ask for an application, it'll be sent automatically. That doesn't get you a ballot, you still have to fill out and deliver the application.

Also, it doesn't bypass registration. You still have to register to vote, if you haven't voted in a while.

The Replicant Party is making a big deal out of nothing.

same as: "Whatever you do, don't throw me in the briar patch" from Uncle Remus????

There are ways to screw with the mail in votes, maybe they have those rigged also and everyone will ignore him and mail in their votes thinking that the mail in system isn't corruptible......???????

We need it on the ballot as a proposal ASAP.

We would be better off with Ottawa as our federal capital, not DC if that piece of shit steals it again.

...How many more electoral votes for Biden? He won't steal the election..I don't think it will even be close enough to steal. Let's see?...NY, Michigan, Ill, California, Penn, lots there too. November still is a long way away..

Governor Whitmer is very high in the polls. Even most swing voters I know support her and are really mad at the fringe groups protesting in Lansing. They don’t like the negative image it is generating, which is not representative of the majority of Michiganders.

A lot support using the National Guard at the capitol.

With the crap COVID-45 pulled today, I think he will lose MI by 10-15 points in November.

The walls are closing in on you, and your back is to the wall, you see your doom looming, so you lash out.

Time to call it quits? Might be the right thing to do, your sanity depends on it. Whatever shred of sanity you have left.
