More than six months after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, his supporters across the country continue to believe unfounded conspiracies about his defeat while Republicans in state legislatures push new legislation designed to combat fraud or in some cases just make it more difficult to vote.
The latest battleground for those efforts is Michigan, one of the purple states that was center to Mr Trump’s claims of fraud in the presidential race; in particular, his supporters targeted Wayne County, home to Detroit and its 5.5 million inhabitants, 78 per cent of whom are Black.
Republican lawmakers this week filed a pair of bills aimed at establishing voter ID, or a requirement that residents show a government-issued ID when arriving to vote at their precinct.

There were Michigan state employees / poll workers reporting from the precincts with irregularities. Do you recall in Detroit when the windows were covered with paper to obscure the view DESPITE a court order to allow observers inside? No matter your party affiliation you should want fair and open elections. Otherwise we will be a banana republic.
