Michigan: DOJ objects to closure of Secretary of State office in ... BuenaVista Township
The Saginaw News reported on 27 December: Backers of the secretary of state office in Buena Vista Township are declaring a "huge win for the community" after a federal opinion that appears to derail state plans to close the branch.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has sent a letter to state officials declaring the pending shutdown "legally unenforceable" because of the potential disenfranchisement of minority voters, among other issues. It's the latest development in a six-month battle to keep the office at 4212 Dixie open. ...
The Saginaw Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People joined the fight to keep the branch open after Land's June 13 announcement. Land said that residents could drive to Saginaw Township's location, 4404 Bay, where she would expand the hours. Opponents decried the inconvenience, especially to those with limited transportation. -- BV secretary of state office won't close - The Saginaw News - MLive.com
