Michigan’s Republican-led Senate on June 16 passed several bills that, if signed into law, would implement more voter identification requirements for in-person voters and absentee voters, adding Michigan to a growing list of states pursuing more stringent election measures.

All Senate Republicans voted in favor of the three bills, while every Senate Democrat opposed them.
