Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's signing of Senate bills 603 and 604, aimed at modernizing election processes, has sparked controversy and concerns about undermining election integrity by limiting investigative powers and raising barriers to recounts.

#The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill 2021, piloted by Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, was passed by a voice vote after a brief discussion during which some opposition members demanded that it be referred to a parliamentary panel for scrutiny. The law minister said that the bill will cleanse the election system and eliminate multiple entries. Most of the opposition members demanded that the Bill may be referred to the standing committee for scrutiny and detailed deliberations. Leader of Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Supriya Sule of the NCP wondered why this important Bill was being pushed in a tearing hurry by the government. Many opposition members suggested for garnering public opinion on such an important legislation. This is no way to pass a legislation and there should be a proper debate and discussion on this, said N K Premchandran of the RSP. Others who opposed the Bill included Ritesh Pandey (BSP), Kalyan Banerjee (TMC), Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM) and E T Mohammed Basheer. #Electionlaws #BJP #Aadhaar #Parliamentwintersession #india #visionforcitizens #citizensconnected (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXwOwjiPjvlBH5QBhjWZI-9Pq6o8tiWrx-m3cY0/?utm_medium=tumblr
