Proof of citizenship to vote proposal falls short on valid signatures, state says
"LANSING, MI – A proposal aiming to require citizenship verification for all voters may not make the ballot despite turning in thousands more than the required number of signatures.
"On Monday, a Michigan Board of State Canvassers staff report found that the number of valid signatures in a sample from the ballot measure fell just short of requirements to certify it.
"The report estimated that the full petition contains 434,423 valid signatures, nearly 12,000 fewer than what is required for certification."
