After Michigan’s Democrat-led legislature passed sweeping changes to Michigan elections, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is attempting to implement corresponding potentially “illegal” new rules before the November general election, even though the law isn’t set to go into effect until next year.

Gretchen Whitmer last month. The bill’s...

The presidential campaign of Dr. Cornel West announced Tuesday that it would contest the disqualification of West and his running mate, Dr. Melina Abdullah, from appearing on the Michigan state ballot in court. The disqualification stemmed from procedural concerns raised in an earlier challenge.

The campaign further noted that it has received “overwhelming support” from Michigan voters...

The Republican Party gives Detroit a list of 676 Republican election worker candidates. Detroit hires only 52 off the list.Election officials in Detroit, Michigan need more elephants in the room to get right with the law that calls election workers to equally represent both major parties.

2024 Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance speaks to voters at a rally in Byron Center, Michigan Harris raised the price of American Energy. Michigan suffered. You suffered. Good American jobs suffered but you know who made a lot of money, K Harris's donors, the people who benefit from some of these green energy scams where they do things like building windmills in saltwater off the coast of Nantucket. Of course they fall apart and get washed up ashore, right crazy stuff. Now when she forced Americans, using your tax dollars by the way, to buy EVS made in in...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) stated that it’s been “frustrating” that voters don’t give President Joe Biden enough credit on the economy, “but I think people have gone through such a funk coming out of COVID. It’s been really hard, and frankly, we’ve seen price gouging.” And 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris will “build on” Biden’s economic record. Stabenow began by saying that Harris’ agenda will be “based on a foundation that was put in place in the last four years.” And touted the record of the Biden administration on the...

Former President Donald Trump has claimed his opponent Kamala Harris is faking the size of her rally, as he posted what he called an 'AI doctored photo' - even though there is no evidence that the photo was manipulated. At issue is an image that emerged from a Harris-Walz rally at the Detroit Metro Airport on Wednesday that shows a large crowd standing in front of Air Force Two - the official airplane of the vicepresident. Right-wingers have wrongfully alleged that inconsistencies in the news photo reveal that it was digitally manipulated - pointing to a lack of a reflection...

We're getting oh so close to knowing who all the candidates on the November ballot will be, but even as the calendar has turned to August, about a third of all states still have yet to hold their primaries for non-presidential office. On Tuesday, four states — Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Washington — will head to the polls (or mail in their ballots), and we're tracking over a dozen races between them. With luck, by Wednesday, we'll know whether the progressive "Squad" has lost another member; whether one of the two remaining Republican representatives who voted to impeach former President...

Michigan Conservative Coalition (MCC) is Michigan’s hardest-working and most respected conservative grassroots group. Their leadership never stops finding ways to boost the number of conservative members in the Michigan Legislature. Unlike other organizations that use surveys to vet candidates, MCC takes a different approach. For existing officeholders, we look at a Representative’s voting record and campaign finance reports to see who is contributing to their campaign. For new candidates, we look at things like who is supporting them, where they are getting their contributions, and who is their campaign consultant/manager. What is their background in politics? If it’s a contested...
