The resolution affirms the constitutional right of Michigan residents to propose and vote on amendments to the state constitution, particularly those affecting federal elections, such as Proposal 3 and Proposal 2 from 2022. It highlights the mechanisms established by the Michigan Constitution that allow citizens to engage in direct democracy through petitions and voter approval. The resolution emphasizes that these proposals, which enhance voting rights and accessibility, were overwhelmingly supported by the people and subsequently codified into law by the state legislature.
Furthermore, the resolution addresses ongoing threats to these rights, including a lawsuit (Lindsey v. Whitmer) by certain legislators seeking to invalidate the aforementioned proposals and an executive order issued by President Trump that aims to impose stricter voter registration requirements. It 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 through extensive audits. The resolution concludes by committing to uphold and enforce the provisions of Proposal 3 and Proposal 2, while also calling for the transmission of this resolution to relevant state and federal officials.
