During the 2020 election, Michigan was one of the states that came under scrutiny since President Joe Biden only won the state by less than 3 points. With many Republicans questioning the election results and calling for audits all around the country, four House bills were introduced in Michigan that would have addressed concerns of voter fraud. And although all four bills were supported by state Republicans and Democrats, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer used her power to veto all four bills, claiming there were being used to “suppress the vote” and “perpetuate the ‘Big Lie.’”

Making her announcement at the annual Detroit NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner, the Democrat governor also wrote a statement, saying, “Enrolled House Bills 4837, 4838, and 4492 attempts to suppress the vote or perpetuate the ‘Big Lie’: the calculated disinformation campaign to discredit the 2020 election. I will have no part in any effort that grants an ounce of credence to this deception, so injurious to our democracy.”
Already mentioned above, all four bills passed the state’s House and Senate. While the Republican Party controls both, the bills did get substantial support for House Democrats and even one Senate Democrat. The two bills most supported by the House Democrats received half of the 52-member House Democrat caucus votes.
The governor and some Democrats see the audit in Michigan as unnecessary as the Bureau of Elections, led by Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, conducted close to 250 post-election audits in the state. And while that is the most in the state’s history, they concluded that the results were accurate.
As for the bills that were buried, 4837 would have limited access to qualified voter files, while 4838 would have prohibited electronic voting systems from requiring an internet connection to operate. H.B. 4492 would have placed restrictions on which type of buildings could be used as an official polling place. And the last bill, 4528, would have made it mandatory for the secretary of state to put in place comprehensive training for any local entity seeking to be an election challenger.
