24. Two states with GOP-dominated state congresses.
Why doesn't anyone ever take that into account here? The GOP already knew they'd only lose half their delegates while we'd lose all--I'm sure of that. The MI GOP is pretty canny and wicked and just smart enough to pull this off. It was Republicans who introduced the bills, and there's no way it would've passed without their support and their working for it, too.
