Michiganders are voting for a new governor, a new U.S. senator, new legislators, and more.
The Michigan Supreme Court said it did not have the power to force canvassers to put the proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot.
If approved, the amendment would give Michigan one of the strictest proof-of-citizenship requirements in the country.
City officials said the ballots were received on time, but they were never logged in the state’s voter database.
The state Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, meaning the lower court’s ruling to count the ballots stands.
The announcement comes as Michigan and other states have come under increased scrutiny from the Trump administration.
Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop still faces a number of other controversies.
Election officials said the monitors were polite and unobtrusive, just as they have been in past years.
Polls close at 8 p.m. local time, and Michigan tends to count ballots quickly after that.
Absentee voters are most likely to be affected, but many will never find out about it.
