AG Nessel issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Watson v. RNC.

“By finding Mississippi’s law valid, the Supreme Court has affirmed the fundamental right of states to manage their own elections without influence from the federal government. This ruling protects the integrity of Michigan’s own laws, ensuring military and overseas voters are heard. It respects the flexibility states need to accommodate voters who face hurdles, without imposing unbearable burdens on our local clerks. Despite a blatant push by the Trump administration and Republicans to intimidate voters and disrupt our elections, the rule of law has once again prevailed. I am relieved the Supreme Court protected the way states successfully administer democracy.” -AG Nessel
