WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, Aug. 11, pro-voting groups filed a lawsuit challenging a Michigan statute that makes it a misdemeanor to “hire a motor vehicle” to transport voters to the polls unless they are “physically unable to walk.” According to the lawsuit, which was filed in state court, “no other state has an equivalent prohibition.”

    Michigan already has universal mail in voting for anyone who wants it without cause.
    It’s nice. You sign up to get sent a ballot for every election if you want, and they just send you one for every election you get to vote in.

      Yup, that’s the way it works here, except there’s no sign up other than registering to vote, and if you have a drivers license or state ID card, you’re automatically registered.
