hi attorney general dana nessel here you know the political rhetoric and games continue to ramp up as we near the general election in november and michigan is continuing to see deceptive practices in the circulation of petitions we've alerted the public to these circumstances before but it's crucial that we make every best effort to protect our democracy from those who are attempting to serve their own agendas through lies and deceit many of us would agree that intentionally misleading a voter into signing a petition is immoral and dishonest but unfortunately it's not a crime here in michigan which makes it much more important for you to read and understand what's being asked for you to sign now my office is working closely with secretary of state jocelyn benson's team to provide michigan residents and voters with accurate transparent election information and reassure residents that their votes will count on november third but we're also paying close attention to the bad actors out there who are lying to people about the true nature behind the petitions that they're circulating my office was recently informed of a complaint this weekend of a circulator at eastern market in detroit and the voter was told the petition she signed was to support equal rights for the lgbtq community referencing the fair and equal michigan ballot initiative she was later told that what she actually signed was to repeal the 1945 emergency powers of the governor act these kinds of deceptive practices have no place in our democratic system which requires an informed public that participates in the electoral process and makes decisions based on reason and belief not lies and deceit so remember read it before you sign in it thanks very much
