DETROIT — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday vetoed legislation that would include information on an absentee ballot application informing a potential voter it is a felony to vote more than once in the same election.
Whitmer said in her veto letter that the bill is one of several that "aim to restrict or chill access to the ballot" — legislation that was not negotiated.
"Every citizen of Michigan has a constitutionally guaranteed right to vote and should be free to exercise this right without obstruction," Whitmer wrote.
