Michigan Dept. of State talks election prep, poll challengers as Nov. 8 looms

The guidance had restricted communication for poll challengers and their use of electronic devices.

Michigan officials are working to get everyone on the same page as we hit the two-week mark before the election Colin Jackson has more.

The state says part of that work includes appealing a recent ruling against guidance it issued earlier this year on handling poll challengers.

Department of State spokesperson Jake Rollow says that’s to get further understanding on the ruling.

“Our goal is always to provide clarity and instruction to the 15-hundred city and township clerks across the state so that they’re not all interpreting the law differently.”

The guidance had restricted communication for poll challengers and their use of electronic devices.

Poll challenging has become a hot button topic in Michigan following the 20-20 presidential election.
