In other news, House Republicans are moving forward with proposed election integrity legislation on Capitol Hill. The legislation aims to address non-citizen voting in the United States, although Democrats argue that this issue is not prevalent.
House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged that the legislation is based more on theories than concrete evidence. He mentioned that while there is a belief that non-citizens may be voting in federal elections, proving this has been challenging due to the lack of definitive data. However, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson refuted these claims, stating that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in Michigan elections.
Secretary Benson emphasized that Michigan has robust systems in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process. With paper ballots and public records of voter registration, she asserted that there is no evidence of non-citizens participating in elections. She described the proposed legislation as a solution in search of a problem, suggesting that it is driven more by a narrative of fear and distrust rather than factual evidence.
