Sen. Jeremy Moss (D-Bloomfield) issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s suggestion to federalize the election process, ripping procedural power away from local clerks. Outlined in the U.S. Constitution, all 50 states have the right to hold elections and create legislation surrounding election procedures.

Sen. Moss has led efforts in Michigan in recent years strengthening the integrity of Michigan’s elections and protecting voters’ rights. Specifically, his bills, including Senate Bill 529 (Public Act 269 of 2023), not only brought Michigan into compliance with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act (ECRA) by updating the election canvassing and certification process at the state level, it also protected eligible voters from having their ballots rejected because of mistakes made by election officials.

“We should all be alarmed by the dangerous rhetoric coming from the White House this week, attacking our locally-run elections and threatening to federalize our voting systems,” said Sen. Moss. “Even under a Republican majority, the Michigan Senate investigated and affirmed there was no systemic fraud in the 2020 election. And under our current Democratic majority, we strengthened ballot access in Michigan to break through Trump-backed barriers to voting.

“As Chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, I wrote the law that affirmed our state canvassing and certification process to prevent unlawful federal intervention when counting Michigan votes. Any attempt to rip voting rights away from Michigan, and the clerks who run our elections with security and integrity, is morally reprehensible and unconstitutional. In Michigan, we will protect our voters, not malicious Trump administration officials.”
