Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected an emergency attempt Thursday to force Michigan officials to place a proposed proof-of-citizenship voting amendment on the November ballot, dealing a major setback to supporters of the election-integrity measure.
The dispute reached the nation’s highest court as Michigan raced toward its deadline for finalizing the November 3 ballot.
Americans for Citizen Voting—Michigan, along with voter Fred Smith, had asked the Supreme Court for emergency intervention after the proposed constitutional amendment failed to receive certification at the state level.
