Context text
House Bill 4838 is based squarely on election conspiracy theories. We know, after more than 200 audits, that the last election was safe, secure and accurate. Not only are these bills a solution in search of a problem, they sow discord and mistrust around our elections, perpetuating “the big lie”. Our system works, and I’m committed to protecting the freedom to vote rather than creating more confusion.” Rep. Frederick moved that House Bill No. 4837 be placed on its immediate passage. The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor. House Bill No. 4837, entitled A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending sections 509o and 509r (MCL 168.509o and 168.509r), section 509o as amended by 2018 PA 126 and section 509r as amended by 2018 PA 125. Was read a third time and passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, by yeas and nays, as follows:
