The Michigan State Board of Canvassers has approved a recall petition for Governor Rick Snyder. The petition calls for Snyder’s removal from office over an executive order he signed last March related to the school reform office. The order included a section which created the state school reform and redesign office within the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. The petition states the order is unconstitutional. The group behind the petition must now collect nearly 800,000 signatures to get the recall on the ballot. They have 180 days and need valid signatures within 60 days of turning them in.
