What happened to the recall efforts against Michigan lawmakers over new gun laws?

(Michigan Advance) They garnered headlines and partisan hoopla, but four recall petitions approved last year against Michigan lawmakers all expired without anything to show for the effort.

Most of the recalls were filed after Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed gun reforms following the Feb. 13, 2023, mass shooting at Michigan State University. Several recall efforts never even made it over the first procedural hurdle.

The first of the approved petitions was against state Rep. Cam Cavitt (R-Cheboygan). It was filed by Fairview Area Schools board member and former Republican Alcona County Commissioner Gary Wnuk, and cited Cavitt’s yes vote in January 2023 when the House elected Rep. Joe Tate (D-Detroit) as the new House speaker for the new legislative session under the new Democratic majority.

The Michigan Board of State Canvassers (BSC) approved the recall on Aug. 1, 2023. The petition had a 180-day window to collect signatures, which expired in late January. ...............(more)
