Online voter registration bills near final OK
LANSING (AP) — Michigan residents could register to vote online under bills nearing Gov. Rick Snyder's desk.
The House approved the legislation unanimously Wednesday. The measures previously passed the Senate and are expected to receive final procedural votes later this year.
Under the proposed laws, Michigan would develop an interface so voter registration applications could be submitted on the secretary of state's website.
The system would be off limits to those without a valid driver's license or state identification card. People wishing to register to vote now must complete a form by hand and mail or deliver it to their local clerk.
Michigan can’t bar wine from out-of-state shops
DETROIT (AP) — Wine retailers outside Michigan are popping a cork over a major court ruling.
A federal judge says it’s unconstitutional to block out-of-state retailers from sending bottles to customers in Michigan.
U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Tarnow said recently Michigan is “operating an unjustifiable protectionist regime.”
The law was passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2016 and signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of three wine drinkers and an Indiana company that operates store in the Fort Wayne area.
The judge rejected four arguments by Michigan, including a claim that out-of-state retailers might ship fake wine.
The National Association of Wine Retailers says it warned lawmakers that the law would be declared unconstitutional.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in Ohio say a body reported near a park turned out to be a sex doll.
Authorities say Hamilton County engineers called Colerain police recently when they spotted what they thought was a body near Richardson Forest Preserve. Police say the figure was wrapped in a garbage bag and had been abandoned on a hillside.
Colerain Police Chief Mark Denney says officers pulled the figure out of the bag and discovered it was a life-size female sex doll. Authorities say the doll looked lifelike from a distance.
