On the Michigan ballot for Supreme Court there are 6 candidates, you can vote for 2. However if you don’t look up beforehand there is no party affiliation to guide your decision. The candidates are:
Samuel Bagenstos NO
Megan Kathleen CavanaghNO
Elizabeth T. Clement Justice of Supreme Court YES
Doug Dern NO
Kerry Lee Morgan NO
Kurtis T. Wilder Justice of Supreme Court YES
In my research it appears that Clement and Wilder are the closest to being conservative. If you agree the easiest way to identify them on your ballot is they both have “Justice of Supreme Court” associated with their names, the others do not.
There are 3 proposals:
18-1: A proposed initiated law to authorize and legalize possession, use and cultivation of marijuana products by individuals who are at least 21 years of age and older, and commercial sales of marijuana through state-licensed retailers - NO
18-2: A proposed constitutional amendment to establish a commission of citizens with exclusive authority to adopt district boundaries for the Michigan Senate, Michigan House of Representatives and U.S. Congress, every 10 years - NO
18-3: A proposal to authorize automatic and Election Day voter registration, no-reason absentee voting, and straight ticket voting; and add current legal requirements for military and overseas voting and post-election audits to the Michigan Constitution. NO, due to same day. Same day = Hanky Panky
I personally never vote for more taxes or bigger government. All 3 will result in bigger government.
Thanks all of you! I live in Detroit, all my life except for two years in Mount Clemons. Moved to Detroit with parents at 2. Thanks! I had just figured out not to vote for 2 on Supreme Court cause UAW had backed them. But all the info helps!
