Mich. House approves bills to tighten voting laws 12 Jun 2012 The Republican-led Michigan House [of sociopaths] passed several measures Tuesday aimed at tightening state election laws that backers say would protect against voter fraud and critics counter would create obstacles to voting. Michigan's Republican secretary of state introduced the proposals, which now go to the GOP-led Senate to be considered with other proposals in that chamber. The eight-bill House package includes requiring voters to present photo identification when applying for an absentee ballot in their first election or sign an affidavit... The efforts have been pushed largely by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, along with nonpartisan groups such as the League of Women Voters and Project Vote.
