Michigan House rejects voter ID bill, voting 58-48 against stricter election requirements.

On May 1, Michigan's House failed to pass a resolution requiring proof of citizenship and a photo ID to vote, with a vote of 58-48. The proposal, introduced by Rep. Bryan Posthumus, aimed to add security to elections but faced opposition from Democrats who argued it would disenfranchise voters. If passed, the resolution would need approval from the Senate and voters in the 2026 election.
