MI-GOV Megathread: 👵🏻 Gram died alone.

Tudor Dixon is screwed.

Looks like Michigan is about to trend hard R in two years

Explain.

I always thought of Michigan as similar to other battleground states where the split is somewhere like 40-55, but if it’s this drastic then it’s actually amazing that republicans have ever competed here. I imagine it could start to look more like Wisconsin if it’s no longer on the ballot and other issues take precedence, especially if there’s an “itch” with Whitmer being in another term

This makes no sense...what are you saying?   Like Whitmer will win with 64% of the vote and then Biden wins with 53% in 2024 so that's "trending hard R"?

The two Republicans on the elections board rejected both the abortion measure and the voting rights measure,  but the rejections were based on small grammar errors and other trivial things that aren't actually issues with the measure itself.   

I'd think both measures will be passed by the MI supreme court easily, it seems like a slam dunk case frankly.

The deadline for changes to ballots is tomorrow and there's still nothing from the court about the abortion or voting rights questions.   Are they waiting till last minute or what's going on?

Did she really think this would make a good zinger or something?   Whitmer really did face an attempted kidnapping, they were arrested, charged, and convicted in court, it really happened.  Why "wouldn't" Whitmer take it seriously?   No wonder Dixon is losing in a landslide, she's pathetic.
