FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Secure MI Vote Applauds Board of State Canvassers For Denying Ballot Access to Promote the Vote
Flawed Proposal Violated Constitution in Attempt to Amend
Lansing, MI – Today the Board of State Canvassers deadlocked 2-2 while considering the constitutional amendment put forward by the leftist group Promote the Vote. In order to be approved for the ballot, a proposal must receive a majority vote, including at least one vote from a member from both political parties. Now the proposal will not appear on the state ballot this fall absent intervention from Michigan courts. Secure MI Vote released the following statement after the Board’s actions:
“Michigan’s Constitution has strict rules that must be followed before a proposed amendment can be put before the voters, and Promote the Vote violated those rules,” said Secure MI Vote Spokesman Jamie Roe. “This proposal would render meaningless Article 2, Section 2 of the Michigan Constitution and voters who were asked to sign the petition were not told this fact. Worse yet, the elimination of this provision would allow convicted and incarcerated felons to vote in our elections. Rapists, armed robbers, drug dealers, and home invaders would now be able to vote while still in prison. Murderers would be able to vote, while their victims remain silenced. If voters had been made aware of that fact it is highly unlikely they would have signed the petition.”
“If this terrible proposal were adopted it would not only let murderers vote from prison, it would also make certain that no voter in our state would ever have to show a government issued photo identification before voting and give special interests a constitutional right to fund aspects of government run election administration that benefits their interests. Simply put, this terrible proposal does not belong in our state constitution, and the canvassers got it right in denying it a place on the ballot,” Roe concluded.

Think about that for a moment. Every single senator—Republican and Democrat— stood together to honor the life of a man who was hated by the media elites, smeared by the Left, and ultimately assassinated for daring to speak the truth.
The same Charlie Kirk who was mocked by late-night comedians, censored by Silicon Valley, and targeted by bureaucrats… is now being memorialized by the highest legislative body in the land.
That’s not just symbolic—it’s monumental.
This is not a day about politics.
It’s about a man who gave everything for his country, a man whose faith, courage, and clarity of conviction lit a fire in millions of Americans.
It’s about a young leader who built a movement from nothing, who inspired college students, families, and patriots in every corner of the country to stand up for what they believe in.
It’s about a Christian father, husband, and friend whose voice was silenced but whose message has only grown louder.
The Senate’s action shows what the American people ...
As we get more & more members to our page, we would like to remind everyone, we are fairly censor-free. You are allowed to post almost whatever you’d like to share. It doesn’t matter if it’s backed by facts or not.
What we don’t want to see is someone posting racial slurs, excessive swearing, nudity, criticizing members, trashing of SUM or it’s leaders. A healthy debate is just fine.
Thank you & God Bless you!
