The so-called "Americans For Citizens Voting-Michigan" tried to get the initiative on the ballot this November. However, the group failed to gather enough VALID signatures to qualify for the ballot, which is funny considering how the group claims to fight against voter fraud. As Pat Johnston explains, this was another effort to institute a modern-day poll tax on voters, and thankfully, it lost. But don't be fooled. MAGA Republicans and The Epstein Class will return with a renewed effort to block as many American citizens voting as possible. Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!Click here to vote on this week's LOL Poll who should Democrats condemn: AIPAC or Hasan Piker?Music provided by Wanderbeats.
