Michigan Supreme Court Tells State Canvassing Board to Place Statewide Initiative on Ballot

On July 9, the Michigan Supreme Court unanimously issued an order, telling the Board of State Canvassers to place a statewide initiative on the ballot. Unlock Michigan v Board of State Canvassers, SC162949. Here is the order. The initiative has enough valid signatures but the Democratic members of the Board had refused to certify it, because they said they want to investigate the process by which the petition was circulated.

The initiative asks voters if they wish to repeal the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945. Under a unique Michigan law, the legislature may now itself pass the initiative and can do so without input from the Governor. Probably the legislature will now repeal the law and there won’t actually be a vote of the people. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.

  1. The 1945 law was declared UN-const in Oct 2020 but is still on the books.

    Commie Dems want to have more commie Dems on MI SCT to reverse Oct 2020 op and allow commie guv to keep using such law to CONTROL the Mich economy.

    Mich init law process is in Art 2-9 of 1963 MI Const.
