A ballot drive in Michigan has cleared a significant hurdle. The Michiganders for Money Out Of Politics petition has been found to have sufficient valid signatures. This determination was made by the Board of State Canvassers.

The petition's wording still needs to be reviewed to ensure it meets legal standards. The initiative had faced opposition from a group called Protect MI Free Speech, which had challenged the signatures. Further details about the ballot initiative and its progress are available from the source.
