Monday Musing: Don't Forget Who Blocked Voting Rights In Michigan!

Episode 190,   Oct 28, 03:21 PM

Here's the Left Of Lansing "Monday Musing" for October 28, 2024!

Nearly 2-million Michiganders have already voted. As predicted, making it easier for people to vote is not only getting more people involved in our democracy or making it easier for county clerks across the state, but it's extremely popular!

Thanks to progressive activism in the last decade, and a Democratic Party majority in Lansing, voting rights in Michigan have expanded. Michigan has now broken voting turnouts in 2020 and 2022. 

These new voting laws are working as intended.

But remember, it could've always been this way had Michigan Republicans, like MAGA Republican U.S. Senate candidate "Florida" Mike Rogers, not worked tirelessly for years to make voting harder, especially for younger Michiganders.

Voting rights is also on the ballot! Remember who's fought for those rights, and who's fought against them.
