house Resolution No.352
Rep. Slagh offered the following resolution:
Whereas, Free and fair elections conducted according to the law are imperative in our country. Any sense of unresolved improprieties in an election undermines the results and public trust in our government; and
Whereas, Numerous troubling allegations have been made concerning voter fraud and other violations of law in connection with the November 2020 election. During legislative testimony, it was reported that a review of absent voter records showed that numerous deceased persons voted and there were voters registered with addresses to vacant parcels and uninhabited buildings. Some poll challengers testified that they were prevented from fully viewing and taking part in the ballot duplication process, in direct violation of a court order. Affidavits have also been filed by a significant number of poll challengers who attest that they were harassed, threatened, and intimidated by election workers and others who were observing the election process. Allegations have been made that some election workers coached voters on who to vote for. Additionally, there are specific allegations that election workers were told by their superiors to accept absentee ballots with signatures that did not match the signatures on file in voting records; and
Whereas, Any cases of election fraud or other violations of election law must be investigated fully and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of the November 2020 election and future elections requires determined, judicious enforcement of the law; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Attorney General to fulfill her duties to uphold the laws of the state of Michigan and take legal action against those who have violated election laws; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Attorney General.
