LANSING, Mich.—The Michigan State Board of Canvassers on July 13 certified that an anti-lockdown group had gathered enough signatures for a petition to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers Act that gave Gov. Gretchen Whitmer sweeping executive authority to lock down the state at the height of the CCP virus pandemic.
With the board’s certification, the state’s Republican-controlled legislature can now vote on the petition and is all but certain to repeal the law before the end of the month, according to a GOP state senate spokesperson.
