LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The Michigan Board of State Canvassers has allowed recounts targeting ballot Proposals 2 and 3. However, there are concerns that the efforts amount to a “fishing expedition.”

On Monday, the canvassers voted 3-0 after nearly three hours of discussion to set processes for the recounts of 47 precincts’ votes on Proposal 2, which allowed nine days of early voting, and of about 500 precincts’ votes on Proposal 3, which enshrined abortion rights in the state Constitution.
Both Proposals 2 and 3 passed overwhelmingly on Nov. 8.
The recounts will start Wednesday, but it will not alter the outcome because workers are not examining enough votes.
The nonprofit Election Integrity Fund and Force announced the recount effort on its Facebook page.
The bipartisan Board of State Canvassers certified the election results last week.
