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.

Breaking: After News Anchor Was Suspended for Honoring Charlie Kirk, She Resigned! 🚨
In Springfield, Illinois, we just watched a moment that says everything about the state of free speech in America.
Local news anchor Beni Rae Harmony looked into the camera after Charlie Kirk’s assassination and gave a short, heartfelt reflection.
She said, “Charlie Kirk was my very first boss. He hired me when I was just 19 years old. He gave me a shot, and he taught me to never be afraid to speak up for what I believe in.”
She went on to explain how he encouraged her, as he did so many others, to lean into conversation instead of silence.
And then she quoted him directly: “When conversations stop happening, when individuals become wordless, that’s when violence begins.”
That was it.
No politics, no attacks, no grandstanding.
Just a human moment of grief, a mentor remembered, and a warning about what happens when society shuts down dialogue. And for that, her station suspended her.
Today, she resigned, saying she would not choose a paycheck ...
