Michigan Sen. Erika Geiss called them “21st century Jim Crow.”
She’s referring to 39 bills introduced by Michigan Republican Legislators. If passed, they would make residents struggle to vote and election clerks struggle to process those votes, and they would adversely affect Black and Brown voters.
It’s part of a national effort by Republicans to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election, the safest and largest in history, after all claims of broad voter fraud in swing states were proved unfounded in court.

She and her team spent 2019 and 2020 engaging, registering and mobilizing voters and recruiting poll workers as the Democracy for All Director of the Michigan League of Conservation Voters to great success. She is both an expert and an active participant in voting rights and elections.
Join Allenson and MEC President & CEO Conan Smith in our Capitol Connection webinar as they discuss what Michigan’s anti-voting bills could do to our rights and what voting reforms can ensure our streak of fair elections with large turnouts continue.
