Speaker: Betsy Cushman, Past LWV-MI Vice President of Voter Services and current LWV-DDH Voter Services Director.
Hosted by: LWV Dearborn-Dearborn Heights
After a quick review of Michigan’s new Voting Rights and how the passage of Proposal 3 likely affected voter turnout, this presentation explains the reaction in the Michigan Legislature, covers how a bill becomes a law, the current status of election bills, lists resources and highlights the Secretary of State’s Legislative Agenda.
 An explanation of the Initiative Petition process and the Secure MI Vote petition currently circulating, and an explanation of the Constitutional Petition process and the Promote the Vote petition soon to be circulating are briefly covered. 
After a word about what’s happening around the country and at the federal level, there is information about mis- and disinformation. It ends with “What can you do?”
 
 Hope you can join us! All are welcome.
