Any Changes must rest with the Legislature, not the Judiciary, the Republican-appointed Appeals Court Judges said in a 3-0 Opinion.
Absentee Ballot Extensions in, Indiana and Wisconsin. have also been Overturned by Higher Courts.
Michigan's current Law says Absentee Ballots must be Turned-In by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be Valid.
The Appeals Court, however, said the Pandemic and any Delivery Woes “are not attributable to the state.”
“Although those factors may complicate plaintiffs’ voting process, they do not automatically amount to a loss of the right to vote absentee,” the Court said, noting that Hundreds of Special Boxes have been Set-Up across Michigan.
