Michigan

Issue(s):

The RNC is challenging the executive order of Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer designating several federal and state entities as voter registration agencies. Plaintiffs allege that the governor of Michigan lacks the legal authority to do so under Michigan law, claiming that the executive order violates the National Voter Registration Act and several Michigan state laws. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief to remove VRA status from agencies impacted by the executive order and to render any future executive orders granting VRA status invalid.
