Issue Position: Fairness in Voting Rights and Access

Issue Position

Voting is at the very core of our democracy.
Voting should be easy and every vote should count.

This means it should be easy for those in rural areas where it's a long way to the Secretary of State's office or the polls, people in urban areas without transportation.

It should be easy for those without childcare, who cannot get time off work, or who have a physical challenge to their mobility and more.

Everyone should be able to readily access registration and voting freely and safely, without harassment or discrimination of any kind for any reason.
Additionally, everyone's vote should count. We need a fair, non-political process for defining our voting boundaries so that all votes count. Voters should select their politicians, not allow politicians to choose their voters.

Automatic voter registration, vote-by-mail, and a non-partisan commission to define voting precincts and districts are all good avenues for positive change here in Michigan.
