Voter ID , citizenship proof campaign asks US Supreme Court to put its question on Michigan ballot

AI summary world

A campaign advocating for a Michigan constitutional amendment requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to place its measure on the November ballot. The campaign faced a deadlock from the Michigan Board of State Canvassers regarding the validity of submitted signatures, which led to an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court. The campaign, through its chair Paul Jacob, expressed concern over delays, arguing that the issue involves First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Following a lack of immediate action from the Michigan Supreme Court, the group has now sought emergency intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court, which has ordered the state to respond to the lawsuit.
