Voters around the country will be making decisions on an array of candidates and issues in the 2022 midterm election on Nov. 8. One viral Instagram post urges Michigan voters to vote against a ballot proposal that it characterized as a threat to election security.
The Nov. 1 post shows a video of podcast host and former Newsmax anchor Grant Stinchfield speaking about Michigan's Proposal 2, which seeks to amend the state's constitution in order to make changes to voting policies, according to Ballotpedia.
Stinchfield said the proposal would "do away with voter ID altogether" and "allow billionaires to donate directly to election clerks."
He added, "You know what else Prop 2 does? It would allow felons, from prison, to vote."
The post was liked more than 1,500 times in one day. The claim also spread widely in other Facebook posts.
But there is no language in the proposal that would allow felons to vote, which is prohibited under state law. Additionally, Michiganders are already allowed to submit a signed affidavit in lieu of a photo ID when voting and make private donations to election offices.
