MI SCR0031

Supports Michigan's duly enacted election laws and their enforcement to ensure election integrity and efficient administration.

Affirms the Michigan Legislature's constitutional authority under the U.S. Constitution and Michigan Constitution to regulate election procedures, voter registration, and absentee voting.

Objects to two September 2020 court rulings that blocked enforcement of Michigan laws prohibiting paid voter transportation, restricting ballot assistance, and requiring absentee ballot receipt by election day.

Expresses concern that permitting paid voter transportation enables quid pro quo crimes, unrestricted ballot assistance allows ballot tampering and harvesting, and extending ballot deadlines delays results and undermines election confidence.

Commits the Michigan Senate to selecting faithful electors to the Electoral College who will vote for the presidential candidate receiving the most votes in Michigan as certified by state election officials.
