Michigan Voters Can Now Take Selfies at the Polls

The case against Secretary of State Rush Johnson was filed in September by Joel Crookston of west Michigan. WOOD TV 8 in Grand Rapids has a break-down here of all the details, as well as a link to the legalese ruling, which is a bit dry, but interesting.
