Michigan Representative Richard Hammel (D-Mt. Morris Township) has introduced HB 4027, which expands the “no campaigning” zone around polling places from 100 feet from the entrance to the polling place, to 500 feet. In 2004, the 6th circuit struck down Kentucky’s law setting that zone at 500 feet. That case was Anderson v Spear, 356 F 3d 651. Michigan is in the 6th Circuit. The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld “no campaigning” zones around polling places of 100 feet. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Kentucky’s appeal in Anderson v Spear over the 500 foot limit.
