By removing the existing provisions in Michigan election laws that grant this power to bipartisan state boards of canvassers, Senators State Sen. Ruth Johnson warned,” Senate Bill 603 ends the ability of local officials to research possible fraud, illegal activity, or perhaps ballot tampering during a recount.” These are the time-tested checks and balances that are present in our system.
Johnson argued that if the state wants citizens to “have belief in the electoral process,” it should not revoke Michigan residents ‘ appropriate to include allegations of voter fraud investigated during a possible tell. The Republican lawmaker argued that the authority granted to bipartisan boards to investigate allegations of voter fraud” should not be taken out of the law.”

In response to the Democrat- backed legislation, Republican State Sen. Jim Runestad , tweeted,” Michigan Democrats are terrified Biden will implode and drag them down.

With only Democratic votes, they smashed through this enormous pile of election-fraud-enabling legislation today.
