Not a conspiracy. A real lawsuit. No one is going to let people steal elections without a fight. These lawmakers are heroes.

“Michigan state election officials committed horrible violations of state legislators’ federal rights in 2018 and 2022 and continue to do so, ” said Erick Kaardal, an attorney with Mohrman, Kaardal & Erickson, P.A., representing the plaintiffs. “The election officials enabled these legally unauthorized amendments to the state constitution to eviscerate the state legislators’ federal rights to participate in law-making to determine the times, places, and manner of federal elections. Now, the Michigan Constitution contains federal regulations that are monuments to civil rights violations. We will need help from the federal courts to clean up the mess that the election officials created.”

 
The legislature has the authority to propose an amendment to the Constitution involving a vote of the people under Article 12, Sec. 1. But any election-law amendment to the Constitution that bypasses the legislature is illegal. According to both the U.S. Constitution and the Michigan Constitution, only the state legislature has the authority to regulate the times, places, and manner of federal elections. The passage of an election-related ballot referendum without first gaining legislative approval violates both the U.S. and Michigan Constitutions. The Michigan Constitution provides that the legislative power to regulate elections is vested in the Senate and House of Representatives.

How is a judge going to ignore that? I guess we will see but an appeal or appeals will win this case and help put some integrity back in MI. elections.
