The statement that Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer released Tuesday night on the proposed presidential primary legislation:
"In response to questions raised today concerning the proposed presidential primary legislation, I support this legislation as creating a legally viable process for an early June presidential primary. None of the legal objections to the legislation have any merit, and in my opinion, this legislation satisfies all DNC (Democratic National Committee) and legal requirements. For example, the requirement that voters affirm that they did not vote in the January 15th Republican primary is required by the DNC and must be part of the legislation."
