In Michigan, it appears new integrity measures may be on the way.  The Michigan Secretary of State notes that 15 states recently compared voter registration lists and found that up to 164,000 Michigan voters could be registered in another state.

Nothing is more sacred to democracy than integrity in our elections and safeguarding the principle of one citizen, one vote.  That is why the Secure and Fair Elections legislation, now before Gov. Rick Snyder, is so critical.  It will allow election official to go after the worst campaign finance offenders, help them clean up our voter rolls and remove those who have died, moved and are not citizens. It also will close photo ID loopholes and create more transparency and accountability in the elections process.  It also retains strong measures in place that ensure no legitimate voter is disenfranchised.  Michigan’s voter rolls had an impossible 102.54% of eligible voters registered in 2008.  See the full article at TimesHerald.com

Minnesota Public Radio reports on questions being raised as to whether Secretary of State Ritchie has a conflict of interest and is properly performing his duties in preparation of the November ballot that may include the voter ID amendment:

Dan McGrath, executive director for the pro amendment group Minnesota Majority, accused (Secretary of State) Ritchie of spreading misinformation about the costs and using the same talking points as the political organizations that oppose the amendment.

“Well, I think the Secretary of State is creating a very unfortunate, very public conflict of interest when speaking about the voter ID amendment,” McGrath said.  “His job is to impartially prepare and count the ballot.  I find that very disturbing, especially in light of that fact that he appears to be using taxpayer dollars in his campaign against the voter ID amendment.”

McGrath said he thinks Richie should be required to form a political committee, just like other opponents and advocates of the ballot question.  He said his group may file a complaint against the secretary of state with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.

“I was just on the Glen Beck show on GBTV and had occasion to note that Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion in the Obamacare case was familiar to me. It turns out that Roberts adopted a similar activist rewriting of the parties’ arguments in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District v. Holder.”
