Pro-Voting Groups Challenge Michigan’s Voter Transportation Ban in New Lawsuit

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.”

The only reason I could see is if the group providing the rides were pushing the people to vote a certain way. From the looks of it though it’s just an outright ban which is ridiculous. I’m privileged to be able to walk to my polling place, but I know that’s not an option for a lot of people.

I’m priviledged to just be able to ask for a ballot in the mail, to be able to sit at a computer while going through it and, you know. doing the research while staring at the names.

Okay so I also do research before hand, but like, naw. my memory isn’t that good. it needs a refresher. then all I have to do is pop it back into a mailbox somewheres.
