The false narrative of widespread voter fraud during the last presidential election has not gone away. Some Republicans and Trump supporters have clung to the idea that the election was stolen. They’ve continued to call for restrictions and regulations. They say they want to make elections more secure. Others call it voter suppression. Today, we’ll explore the sweeping bill package from Michigan legislative Republicans that would change election law in Michigan.  GUESTS: State Senator Ed McBroom, a Republican representing Michigan's 38th district, comprising several counties in the Upper Peninsula. He sponsored some of the bills in the package and he also chairs the Senate Oversight Committee. John Pirich, a retired Michigan elections attorney and an expert in the field.  NOTES: Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.
