--by only 10.3K votes out of almost 5M cast. That's a margin of "victory" of about .002%. There are parts of the state that should be renamed Michissippi. Because of gerrymandering, Michigan was red, red, red. They dominated both houses of the state legislature and have held all of the major state administrative offices since 2010. 2018 saw a seismic shift. We won the election for Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Chief Justice of the MI Supreme Court--all of them women. We also have the first African American Lieutenant Governor and we managed to make significant inroads in the state legislature. The gop lost their supermajority in the state senate (losing 6 seats) and reduced their majority in the house (losing 7 seats). We also passed an anti-gerrymandering prop that will completely redraw the map after the 2020 Census. An independent commission instead of the state senate will be drawing the map which will eliminate the gerrymandered districts. That thing has a 31% approval rating according to the last polling I've seen & 61% think that thing should be removed from office.
Things are looking up in the Great Lakes State.
