Mike Rogers says he didn't violate voter registration law he helped to pass

(Michigan Advance) For the second time in as many months, there are questions whether former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-White Lake) may have run afoul of a law he helped to pass while in the Michigan Senate.

Issues surrounding the residency of the former seven-term congressman from mid-Michigan have lingered for almost as long as he has sought to be Michigan’s next U.S senator, competing against Democratic nominee U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly).

Last year, Rogers and his wife, Kristi, purchased a home in White Lake Township soon after he announced his senatorial bid and said he had moved back to Michigan from Florida.

But Rogers needs to follow the law. He's a carpet bagger who doesn't live in the state right now.

These laws are a joke, you should get to vote no matter what. Poor people and young people move around more, so these laws were designed to make it harder for them to vote. There should be a generic ballot for your state that doesn't have local elections. You can choose this generic ballot if you can't prove your residence, but it's known you live in the state.
