Snyder vetoes controversial voter ID, registration bills | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday vetoed three election law bills pushed by Republican legislators seeking to require a ballot box affirmation of citizenship, restrict voter registration drives and require photo ID for obtaining an absentee ballot.
Snyder said he vetoed the absentee ballot bill, House Bill 5061, because it would not let an absentee ballot count if the person did not affirm their citizenship by the close of the polls on an Election Day.
"I am concerned (the bill) could create voter confusion among absentee voters," Snyder wrote in a veto letter to legislators.
