Michigan: Senator Darrin Camilleri introduced the Michigan Voting Rights Act (MVRA), a package of bills that would improve many aspects of elections. The four bill package was developed in coordination with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a NewDEAL Leader and chair of the NewDEAL Forum Democracy Working Group, and would improve access for voter with disabilities and language minority groups, prohibit intimidation, coercion, and deceptive actions, and protect all voters from obstacles to casting their ballots. “This historic legislation is desperately needed to help counter ongoing attacks on voting both nationally and right here in Michigan,” said Sen. Camilleri.
