This is the third in a series of cartoons warning voters not to sign the Secure MI Vote petition.

The so-called “Secure MI Vote” petition currently being circulated puts barriers in the way of Michigan voters, particularly voters already vulnerable to disenfranchisement.

Do not sign the petition!
