Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed several GOP voting bills Sunday she says aimed to suppress the right to vote. Republicans backing the bills assert the legislation would have protected election integrity.

Republicans say the bills aimed to solidify election day training, protect machines from being hacked, and would have created more voting locations.
