MI SR0138

Urges the United States Congress to fully fund the United States Postal Service to support mail-in voting during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Recognizes that mail voting provides a safe alternative to in-person polling during the public health crisis when congregating at physical polling places presents disease transmission risks.

Notes that Michigan experienced record numbers of mailed absent voter ballots in 2020 elections and that election systems must be equipped to handle increased mail ballot delivery.

States that a robust postal service is vital to ensuring all mailed ballots are counted and protecting the integrity of democracy.

Directs the Michigan Senate to send copies of this resolution to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
