The Republican candidate for Michigan secretary of state is warning voters that a disarmingly worded ballot proposal to amend the elections section of the state constitution is really a cynical ruse to deceive voters into thinking they’re voting for elections to be more secure, although she says the opposite is true.
Kristina Karamo told reporters at an Aug. 10 press conference in suburban Detroit that, if adopted by voters in the November midterm elections, the liberal political action committee-backed “Promote the Vote” initiative would constitutionally mandate the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in every community in the state. As secretary of state, Karamo would be the state’s top elections official; she’s running against Democrat incumbent Jocelyn Benson.
