Voter Verification: Advocating for measures that confirm the identity of voters to prevent fraud. Secure Voting Systems: Supporting the use of reliable and secure voting technologies. As Michigan approaches upcoming elections, the emphasis on election integrity remains a priority. This focus is part of a strategy to ensure that elections are fair and that every vote counts.
