MI: State canvassers approve upgrade to Dominion voting systems
The Michigan Board of State Canvassers on Friday approved certifying an upgrade to the voting machines used across most of the state.
The board met in Lansing for its monthly session with only two items on the agenda. The first was the certification of an upgrade to the Dominion Voting System tabulators used by 65 of Michigans 83 counties, while the second was to consider a petition to form a new political party submitted by the Michigan Common Sense Party.
The latter was dropped from the agenda at the request of organizers who said there were some typos discovered by Bureau of Elections (BOE) staff too late to get changed and verified in advance of the meeting. Its expected they will resubmit for Junes meeting.
As to the Dominion upgrade, Michigan Director of Elections Jonathan Brater, appearing remotely, provided an overview for the bipartisan panel of the proposed upgrade to the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.17 voting system that he said would provide several improvements in usability, functionality, technology and security.
