Friends,
The "Lame Duck" legislature is in a mad rush to push through election integrity killing bills before the shift in majority happens in January.
This communication is meant to inform you about legislation that is being considered to give driver's licenses to non-citizen residents of Michigan.
Yes, Michigan lawmakers are pushing bills forward to do this, right now. Senate Bills 265-267 and House Bills 4410-4412 aim to do just that, allow non-citizens to obtain state IDs and Driver's Licenses. Driver's licenses are, of course, the most common method to both register to vote and to vote in person at the polls.
You may also know about House Bill 4983, which was passed last December and allows driver's license applicants to be automatically registered to vote.
And you may further know that Michigan had a high profile case of a Chinese student (non-citizen) voting in our last election in Ann Arbor. See link below:

Please let your Senators and Representatives know your concerns about these bills. And please do so soon. The last day of session this year is next Thursday, December 19, although there is talk of extending it through December 23.. But these bills could be up for a vote within the next day or so.
