State to develop online voter registration under new laws
LANSING (AP) — Michigan residents will be able to use the internet to register to vote under laws signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The measures enacted Thursday require the state to develop an interface so voter registration applications can be submitted on the secretary of state's website. The system will be off limits to people without a valid driver’s license or state identification card or those who submit a change of address within the previous 10 days.
People wishing to register to vote currently must complete a form by hand and mail or deliver it to their local clerk.
About 95 percent of Michigan’s voting-age population is registered to vote.
Supreme Court justice not stopping despite election loss
LANSING (AP) — A state Supreme Court justice who lost an election still was scheduled to hear arguments in five cases today.
Justice Kurtis Wilder finished third in the race for two seats on the state's highest court. The defeat Nov. 6 means his term ends at the end of December.
Court spokesman John Nevin says Wilder will participate in decisions that can be written before Jan. 1.
The court heard 13 cases in October, including a major dispute about people who were wrongly accused of committing fraud to get unemployment benefits. But it sometimes takes months for opinions to emerge.
No cases will be heard in December.
Megan Cavanagh will become the newest justice on Jan. 1. Justice Elizabeth Clement also won election to an eight-year term.
Stranded camel entertains motorists along snowy roadway
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The surprisingly powerful winter storm that swept across Pennsylvania brought some surprising sights with it, including a camel stranded along a snowy roadway.
Motorists traveling about 40 miles north of Philadelphia started tweeting about the camel and posted video on social media.
An organization called Jewish Philly says it was their camel named Einstein. He was on his way to the group's event at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center when the vehicle he was traveling in got stuck.
Jewish Philly later tweeted Einstein's handler decided it was best for the camel to head home after his snow adventures, so he returned to Peaceable Kingdom Petting Zoo.
