look at it, it will be Dem ForEvah, however Doc Steele in 2010, gave him a run....
I’m skeptical, just received my absentee ballot and intend to mail it in today. I would appreciate any feedback regarding the viability/desirability of this proposal. At the moment, I’m leaning no, but just because I’m satisfied with who is now in the MI state legislature.
“This proposed constitutional amendment would: • Create a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State: “
Hell no!
Like how are 13 random morons any better representative than actual elected reps?
Like who is the idiot that came up with this? The only reason why it is on the ballot here is because the Dems know they arent going to run the state legislator in 2020.
You’re right. Happened in Arizona. So-called independent voted consistently with the Dems.
o 13 each who either explicitly or implicitly identify as affiliated with the political party of the Secretary of State
Whenever I’m in doubt about a proposal, I look to see what organizations/people are for/against and who is donating. That usually sways my vote.

For: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Lawrence - that would tell me how to vote.
They are doing this in Missouri too!
THIS IS A BIG FAT NO! I was approached outside my post office months ago to sign a petition to get this on the ballot. The woman said it would be a bi-partisan commission. I surely smelled the rat she was. I would not sign it and said the system we have on place with the majority party doing any redistricting was just fine the way it is. Bottom line the way I see it, Dems are frustrated in our state because the Republicans hold a majority. They have for years and probably will continue. Tough toenails. Win a majority and you can redistrict all you want.
Islamic State of Michigan ?
Anyhow, the Ohio method is OK even though I prefer the old system (Gerrymandering and all). The new Ohio system essentially boils down to redistricting every 4 years by the victorious party. the wording is built in consensus, but the fall back is a 4 year redistricting cycle. This is better than non - elected "bipartisan" committees.

Dems would not be pushing it if it didn’t somehow work out in their favor.
Good enough reason to vote no.
Another Democrat attempt to steal Republican seats. This should be shot down.
Yeah...I see them using the false meme like those who ‘self-identify” as a different gender....just putting the lie out in the open as the 5 who “self-identify” as Independent/non-affiliated have been hard core dems for decades...
:: a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State ::
Bwahahahahah! Do not be misguided fellow Michiganders. 18-2 is offered as “belladonna” for the masses.
