With Donald Trump calling on citizens to guard against a "rigged" election, some Michigan election officials are worried people may bring guns — and perhaps intimidate voters — to polling places on Tuesday.
Michigan law is silent on the issue of guns at polling places, and there is a question of whether schools and churches designated as "weapon-free zones" have to loosen their rules during voting hours.
"State election law does not address firearms laws in polling locations, so normal rules for carrying laws apply," said Fred Woodhams, spokesman for the Michigan Secretary of State, which oversee elections. |

| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
