Pastor David M. Doran, Jr., Pastor of Resurrection Church in Lincoln Park, offered the following invocation:

“Father in Heaven, I pray now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ-crucified for sinners, buried, risen from the dead as Lord of all and coming again to hold all men accountable. Only in Christ’s purity and sacrifice can we stand. I pray for our governing authorities here and across the land–I know that they exist and have their authority by Your design. There are many who would rebel and wreak havoc on the land these men and women oversee–please thwart the plans of evil and help these men and women govern in peace. Please give these servant-leaders the courage to uphold what is good and right and to punish what is evil. Please give them the courage to stand for the good and not merely the expedient, to defend the oppressed, and prosecute the oppressor. Please fill our land with respect and honor for our governing authorities and an over arching peace that makes way for loving and serving You, our God, and our neighbors. Let us have no debt except the continuing debt to love each other–love does no harm to our neighbor whether black or white, male or female, Muslim or Christian, born or yet unborn… and love is the fulfillment of Your Law. We can only truly love if we turn to Christ and live by the power of His Spirit–Please let love be the law of our land and the rule of this government. Amen.”

Rep. Garcia moved that Rep. Muxlow be excused from today’s session.

“An act to reorganize, consolidate, and add to the election laws; to provide for election officials and prescribe their powers and duties; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state departments, state agencies, and state and local officials and employees; to provide for the nomination and election of candidates for public office; to provide for the resignation, removal, and recall of certain public officers; to provide for the filling of vacancies in public office; to provide for and regulate primaries and elections; to provide for the purity of elections; to guard against the abuse of the elective franchise; to define violations of this act; to provide appropriations; to prescribe penalties and provide remedies; and to repeal certain acts and all other acts inconsistent with this act,”

The House agreed to the full title.

Rep. Nesbitt moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Dianda, Hovey-Wright, Garrett, Cochran, Chirkun, Yanez, Liberati, Greig, Derek Miller, Byrd, Talabi, Brinks, Guerra, Singh, Brunner, Wittenberg, Durhal, Smiley, Townsend, Darany, Geiss, Neeley and Lane, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it is unnecessary and impractical. It is a solution in search of a problem.

While I support reform of our election laws to further the rights of Michigan citizens to exercise their right to vote, and I support reforms that would make voting more accessible and easier, Senate Bill 13 actually impedes, suppresses, and reduces the right and ability to vote. Senate Bill 13 violates the United States Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

Straight ticket voting is an option that has been exercised by over 100 million voters in this state, of both political parties, consistently and without complaint or problem, for over a century. Forty to fifty-five percent of voters use it each time they vote-tens of thousands of voters each election. It saves money, and it reduces congestion in a state that already has one of the longest ballots and some of the most crowded polls. It is easier, so it encourages a greater participation in the election process.

This bill in no way encourages people to vote. This bill in no way increases efficiency. It does not save money. It in no way ensures a more educated electorate, something that could actually easily be accomplished with the passage of bills allowing for voting by mail or a true no-reason absentee option. This bill dismantles a system that is efficient and fair, which is why there is broad bipartisan and nonpartisan opposition.

Elimination of straight party voting was twice rejected by over 60 percent of Michigan citizens, who voted overwhelmingly to keep this voting option available. This is a direct attempt to thwart the will of the people, and a shameful move by the members of this chamber who voted for it.

Knowing the history of this legislation, Senate Bill 13 has added an appropriation for the purpose of purchasing the silence of the citizens.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Chang, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 13 because it is unnecessary, impractical, and an affront to the efforts of past and present to ensure voting rights. While I support reform of our election laws to further the rights of eligible Michigan citizens to exercise their right to vote, and I support reforms that would make voting more accessible and easier, Senate Bill 13 actually impedes, suppresses, and reduces the right and ability to vote. Senate Bill 13 violates the United States Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

Straight ticket voting is an option that has been exercised by over 100 million voters in this state, of both political parties, consistently and without complaint or problem, for over a century. Forty to fifty-five percent of voters use it each time they vote-tens of thousands of voters each election. We need to be doing what we can ensure that every voter feels comfortable and able to vote. For those who are limited English proficient, have waited in a long line and need to go back to work, or those who simply would not have come out to the polls because they prefer to vote a straight-ticket, we should not be discouraging them from exercising their fundamental right.

Elimination of straight party voting was twice rejected by over 60 percent of Michigan citizens, who voted overwhelmingly to keep this voting option available. Senate Bill 13 is an attempt to thwart the will of the people, and a shameful move by the members of this chamber who voted for it. I am extremely saddened and disappointed by this move away from fairness and access.

For these reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. LaVoy, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. This removes an option that makes it easier to vote. It doesn’t save money. It won’t increase voter turnout. It only serves to take away a choice of voters. It is a partisan political move that is a back-door way to suppress the vote and the appropriation supposedly makes it referendum proof.”

Rep. Plawecki, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

Rep. Hoadley, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it will likely to lead to longer lines and disproportionately impact African American voters and people of color.

Credible data offered in testimony during committee indicate millions of voters utilize the straight ticket voting option each election cycle. Statistics were cited from the report by Charles Stewart III entitled ‘Managing Polling Place Resources’ which indicate Michigan has the sixth longest wait times to vote in the country with an average of 22 minutes per voter; these wait lines are clustered in urban areas which have larger populations of people of color. To suggest SB 0013 would improve wait times is both counter-factual and deceitful. Taken in light of the sponsor’s recent comments as quoted in the Detroit News (Livengood, Chad. ‘Lawmaker calls skin comment ‘clunky choice of words’.’ 12/7/2015), where he said, ‘We can’t fix that. We can’t make an African-American white,’ we must examine the anticipated impact of the sponsor’s bill. In addition, when the sponsor argues this will promote a more informed electorate, it reeks of discriminatory literacy tests used to exclude voters—historically African Americans and people of color.

In committee and on the floor a number of amendments were offered to substantially improve the bill. For example, even a non-controversial amendment allowing for a centralized reporting of errors (HB 4802)—errors ostensibly which will be studied in the unconstitutional appropriation inserted into the bill—were denied along party-line votes.

Taken in total, this bill and this vote represents a serious attack on the voting rights of minorities. I cannot and will not support

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Schor, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it is unnecessary and impractical. It is a solution in search of a problem.

Knowing the history of this legislation, Senate Bill 13 has added an appropriation for the purpose of purchasing the silence of the citizens.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Zemke, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it is unnecessary and impractical. It is legislation in search of a problem.

I am a supporter of reform of our election laws to further the rights of Michigan citizens to exercise their right to vote, and I support reforms that would make voting more accessible and easier; none of which Senate Bill 13 does. Senate Bill 13 actually impedes, suppresses, and reduces the right and ability to vote. Senate Bill 13 violates the United States Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

Straight ticket voting is an option that has been exercised by over 100 million voters in Michigan, of both political parties, consistently and without complaint or problem, for over a century. 40 to 55% percent of voters use it each time they vote: this amounts to tens of thousands of voters in each election. It saves money and reduces congestion in a state that already has one of the longest ballots and some of the most crowded polls. And since it is less complex, it encourages greater participation in the election process.

This bill in no way encourages people to vote. This bill in no way increases efficiency. It does not save money. It in no way ensures a more educated electorate, something that could actually be accomplished with the passage of bills allowing for voting by mail or a true no-reason absentee option. This bill dismantles a system that is efficient and fair, which is why there is broad bipartisan and nonpartisan opposition.

Elimination of straight party voting was twice rejected by over 60% of Michiganders. These citizens voted overwhelmingly to keep this voting option available. This bill is a direct attempt to thwart the will of the people, and a shameful move by the members of this chamber who voted for it.

Knowing the history of this legislation, Senate Bill 13 has added an appropriation for the purpose of purchasing the silence of the citizens. This action is despicable. This bill is despicable.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Robinson, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This bill will disenfranchise voters by creating longer lines and longer delays. The removal of this voting option will be costly, The bill is contrary to the intent of the Voter Rights Act of 1965 and the values of this State, The bill will ensure voter suppression in Michigan’s urban areas, specifically, minority voters, This is a shameful result.”

Rep. Pagan, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Knowing the history of this legislation, Senate Bill 13 has added an appropriation for the purpose of silencing our citizens.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Sarah Roberts, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 13 because this legislation takes away a voter’s choice if they want to vote a straight party ticket. Similar legislation has passed into law several times in past years and the voters have always overturned this law by referendum. Senate Bill 13 adds an appropriation to deliberately take away the constitutional right of Michigan voters to organize a referendum on laws they deem wrong. This bill is taking away core rights of our voters.”

Rep. Irwin, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it is unnecessary and impractical. It is a solution in search of a problem.

In addition, I am deeply concerned about the civil rights impact of this legislation. This bill will not just lengthen lines at the polls, it will have a punctuated impact on African American voters who already wait an unreasonable amount of time to vote.

Knowing the history of this legislation, Senate Bill 13 has added an appropriation for the purpose of purchasing the silence of the citizens.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Moss, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Senate Bill 13 is a solution in search of a problem. There is no uproar from election clerks, administrators, and voters about issues relating to the current system of straight party voting. This bill is not good public policy, but purely a political maneuver by the current majority party and another attempt to make voting more difficult. Further - particularly egregious - the appropriation allocated in this bill is solely designed to deny citizens to subject this legislation to referendum, which they have time and time again. For these reasons I voted against Senate Bill 13.”

Rep. Faris, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I support reform of election laws that encourage more people to vote, education aimed at voters and making voting more accessible. SB 13 will not do any of the things I support. It will create longer lines at polling locations, require hiring more election polling place workers and potentially require disabled and elderly to wait in long lines in order to vote.”

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted ‘no’ on SB 13 because an appropriation was included in the bill. It should have been removed. Indeed, it never should have been added to the bill in the first place. It is irrelevant to the intent of the bill and has no impact other than to prevent a referendum petition. We should not be afraid to pass bills that are subject to the possibility of referendum. Indeed, we are tasked with representing the people of the State of Michigan. As such, our legislation should be able to stand on its own merits. It should reflect the will of the electorate and should not block the people’s constitutional right of referendum simply by including a perfunctory appropriation.”

Rep. Greimel, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 0013 because it is unnecessary and impractical. It is a solution in search of a problem.

While I support reform of our election laws to further the rights of Michigan citizens to exercise their right to vote and to make voting more accessible and easier, Senate Bill 13 actually impedes, suppresses, and reduces the right and ability to vote. Senate Bill 13 violates the United States Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

This bill in no way encourages people to vote. This bill in no way increases efficiency. It does not save money. It in no way ensures a more educated electorate, something that could easily be accomplished with the passage of bills allowing for voting by mail or a true no-reason absentee option. This bill dismantles a system that is efficient and fair, which is why there is broad bipartisan and nonpartisan opposition.

Even worse, Senate Bill 13 has an added appropriation for the purpose of preventing citizens from exercising their constitutional right to hold a referendum on the bill.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of SB 13.”

Rep. Hoadley, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on HB 4724 because the bill creates additional restrictions on the ability to access the ballot by requiring a photo identification to be present. This is not required currently to access the ballot. I oppose restrictions on ballot access and thus oppose this bill.”

Rep. Robinson, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

Rep. Geiss, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on House Bill 4724 because while it sounds as if it is increasing access to voting, in practice, it is not making absentee voting any easier.

While I support reform of our election laws to further the rights of Michigan citizens to exercise their right to vote, and I support reforms that would make voting more accessible and easier, House Bill 4724 actually impedes, suppresses, and reduces the right and ability to vote rather than allowing them to vote more conveniently—-instead, it violates the United States Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

For those reasons, I did not support the passage of HB 4724.”

Rep. Singh, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
