The resolution affirms the constitutional right of the people of Michigan to propose and approve amendments to the state constitution, particularly those affecting federal elections, such as Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022. It highlights the mechanisms established by the Michigan Constitution that allow registered voters to participate in direct democracy through petitions and amendments. The resolution emphasizes that these proposals, which enhance voter access and rights, were overwhelmingly approved by the electorate and subsequently codified into law.
Furthermore, the resolution addresses ongoing threats to these rights, including a lawsuit (Lindsey v. Whitmer) by certain legislators seeking to overturn the aforementioned proposals and an executive order issued by President Trump that aims to impose stricter voter registration requirements. The resolution argues that these actions undermine the will of the people and the integrity of Michigan's election process, which has been deemed safe and secure. It concludes by committing to the continued implementation of the approved proposals and calls for the resolution to be shared with relevant state and federal officials.
