Michigan’s legislation bodies on Dec. 15 granted the state’s Senate and House Oversight Committees power to issue subpoenas to Detroit and the Livonia suburb that would allow officials to further investigate allegations of voter fraud in the Nov. 3 election.

Michigan House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Matt Hall, a Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that the resolution is “vitally important” to ensure the transparency, efficiency, and trustworthiness of the state’s election procedures.
