"In Ann Arbor, the last person in line voted at 2:05 am. She waited 6 hours to cast her ballot."

I'm thrilled to see students taking the vote so seriously, but there is no reason at all that it should be this difficult to cast a ballot.

In Ann Arbor, the last person in line voted at 2:05 am. She waited 6 hours to cast her ballot.

THAT SINCE THE DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE IN MICHIGAN- we can pass additional laws making voting easier. the GOP just spent 40 years making it more difficult.

the passage of Proposal 1 also means "in person advance voting", something we have not done before.


This bodes very good for future elections.


VOTING MATTERS.

Was higher than 2018 when people were voting their disgust with the then president and 58% of voters turned out.

When we show up to vote, we win big.
