Michigan Officials Ask Kavanaugh To Block Citizen-Only Voting Ballot Measure
Jocelyn Benson and elections director Jonathan Brater filed Michigan's opposition hours before Americans for Citizen Voting fired back the same day.
- Justice Kavanaugh gave Michigan until noon EDT on Sept. 2, 2026 to respond.
- Benson, Brater and the Board of State Canvassers oppose an injunction pending appeal.
- Americans for Citizen Voting - Michigan replied the same day defending its emergency bid.
Why it matters: One justice, on a one-day clock, decides whether Michigan voters see this question on the ballot.
