LANSING — In response to the news that the Board of Canvassers rejected seven of eight recall petitions today, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes released the following statement:
“We applaud the Board of Canvassers’ decision to reject these baseless recall petitions today. The Republican activists that brought these challenges forward demonstrated that they have no credibility and that their efforts have no merit. But don’t be fooled, these extremists won’t stop trying to undermine free and fair elections in Michigan, and this fight isn’t over — Michigan Democrats will be there every step of the way to ensure that we preserve our democracy.”
