Holy sh*t!

Gov Whitmer leads Dixon by 16 points
AG Nessel leads DePerno by 9
SoS Benson leads Karamo by 14

Abortion rights ballot initiative to change the state's constitution leads 64% to 27%!!!!!!!!!!

Voting rights ballot initiative leads 70-20!!!

Michigan is staying blue and moving to dark blue and we're going to see some upsets down ticket.

In my US Congressional district, we're flipping (R) Peter Meijer's seat to a progressive Dem, Hillary Scholten, redistricting took this from a R+9 district to a D+3 one. Hillary's opponent is on tape saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

This is looking like a massive rout, and the down ticket race to watch is MI10 where (R) John James is currently up 4.5 points on (D) Carl Marlinga. This is a key race for control of the House. 4.5 points can be easily overcome just by turnout for the ballot initiatives alone.

Michigan is going to be its own Blue Wave in about 6 weeks.
