Snyder vetoes controversial voter ID, registration bills<br />
<br />
Governor Snyder on Tuesday vetoed three election law bills that would have required a ballot box affirmation of citizenship, restrict voter registration drives, and require photo ID for obtaining an absentee ballot.<br />
<br />
Snyder said he vetoed the absentee ballot bill, House Bill 5061, because it would not let an absentee ballot count if the person did not affirm their citizenship by the close of the polls on an Election Day.<br />
<br />
The governor's use of his veto pen won rare praise from Democrats, labor unions and other liberal special interest groups.<br />
<br />
Snyder also vetoed Senate Bill 803, which sought to require residents to check off a box on their ballot affirming they are, in fact, U.S. citizens.<br />
