This is scary. Democrats need to make this a focal point and tell all Biden 2020 voters in MI that if they want their vote to matter in the future, they need to turn out in 2022 and vote for Whitmer and the other Democratic candidates for statewide office.

Craig is just dodging the question like Kleefisch is. He hasn’t explicitly said he’s not certifying.

It shouldn't even be a question. By saying what he said, he's basically endorsing not certifying. Cowardly.

The GOP's implosion in the PA, WI, and MI gov races is truly something behold.

Ballot signature scandals surrounding Craig and I think some other candidates.

Are signature challenges a scandal now? I wasn't aware there were races where they didn't happen. I know campaign staffers who put "challenge signatures" in their standard calendar.

Even if Craig is removed from the ballot, it's not like he was unopposed. The Republicans will have a nominee in a state where turnout and Whitmer's unpopularity should give them a major edge. Perhaps even more so if voters think that they lost their first choice due to election law chicanery.

Based on what I'm reading, the Democrats would need to succeed on over 6,000 challenges. I've never heard of something like that happening.

This in particular is hilarious:

Quote from: https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/james-craig-accused-gathering-fake-signatures-bid-make-michigan-ballot
The Democratic challenge to Dixon’s signatures focus on an apparent error in the header of her nominating petitions. The campaign indicated she was running for a term that ends in 2026, but under the Michigan Constitution, the gubernatorial term will actually end on the first day of 2027.

...

“The inaccurate, misleading and false information” included in the header of  “every petition filed by the Dixon campaign violates the Michigan election law and voids those petitions,” [Democratic attorney] Liedel said.

Who says Whitmer is "unpopular"?

Pretty much everyone. Google "Whitmer approval rating."

Even the notoriously pro-incumbent Morning Consult poll has her at +4 today, which makes her the third-weakest incumbent facing re-election after Evers and Grisham. Even if you disregard all polling, it's clear that she stirs massive animosity in Republicans without really enthusing Democrats or independents. Intensity is different than net unpopularity but might matter even more in our current high-turnout political environment.

The bottom line here is that a +4 approval rating in a swing state does not make her 'unpopular' as much as you wish it does. Not to mention, other public polling from this year has shown her with higher than that as well.

Not sure where you're getting that she doesn't enthuse Democrats either, it feels like a lot of people here wishcasting their own feelings about Whitmer onto the situation rather than what is actually happening in reality.

It's really laughable just how bad the MI/WI/PA GOP is.

Craig has officially been removed from the ballot, by the way. Whitmer is popping a bottle of champagne in Lansing, I'm sure.

The fact that the former police chief is engulfed in such an illegal scandal is just... so ironic

The poll has Whitmer at a 42% approval rating with Republican women... backlash to Dobbs?

I'm not sure how they'd have her be at 42% approval with GOP women and only be 49% overall though...

The same as in senate races. I feel like Republicans are way too overconfident that they win regardless instead of playing it safe as the Democrats did in 2018. They focused on bread and butter issues and nominated strong candidates fitting their districts/states.

That again tells you that one party and its base moved way to the extreme while the other party just slighty moved. Yet I hear the media often talk about how "Democrats moved far-left".
Democrats have moved far-left in the last 15 years. Notice how there are virtually no real blue dogs left?

Mainstream Democrats have not moved as far left as Rs have moved right.

this isn't a clown car at this point, it's the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus Train Wreck of 1918

can someone explain what this is / how this is good for Whitmer?

Michigan also has the abortion referendum though on the ballot. As we saw with KS, that's going to turbocharge turnout for Democrats and Indies, which is a huge help to Whitmer and other Dems on the ballot.

There's rumors floating around about some possible old Tudor Dixon video that is making the rounds?
