If you gave the I-75 corridor from Detroit to Saginaw to Canada, Michigan would be almost as red as Wyoming. (and crime would be almost zero.

Yes, but the population center is in SE Michigan. We left the Detroit area for small town conservative northern Michigan years ago. Our friends born and raised here still don't grasp the voting power of downstate. They look at all the Rep yard signs and can't figure out how we lost! There are just under 900 people in my small town in a small county. I had 700 in my high school graduating class for comparison.

If the U.S. military had not won the Battle of the Fallen Timbers in 1794, the area that became Detroit would have remained under British control. Perhaps we should have let the Indians, who were aided by the British win. Had that happened, Michigan might have become Canada’s eleventh province.
