Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...

Removing a 500 year old Christmas song because of suggestive-ish lyrics? Okay, come on...for real? You can't find anything better to do? Perhaps you should take this one up with the board's resident culture warrior!* :lol *Who probably belongs in the DBR, but that's another story Which one of the 1...

Liberalism Is Truly A Disease... Only if you really, really, really want to make it one by framing it entirely using stances such as in your link. Keep trying, though. :lol It's also interesting that you linked directly to HuffPo's Twitter and not the Fox News article included in your link (https:/...

Re: Michigan Legislature tries for a power grab...

That said... Most of these are unconstitutional. Explain? I've seen how the minimum wage/paid sick leave changes have the constitutionality issue, but what's the specific question(s) on these? All things considered though, with these kinds of stunts, it wouldn't shock me to see a future ballot quest...

Re: Michigan Legislature tries for a power grab...

Republicans say the reforms are overdue, and they’d support them even if they didn’t control the Legislature. Such an obvious lie, when the truth is that not one of these would even be put forth without the looming prospects of losing even a modicum of state control. HB 6553 appears when the AG's o...

Re: Michigan Senate Guts Minimum Wage Hike

I do think there's a decent chance that this legislation - if it becomes law - will be challenged in court. From September: https://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2018/09/suggested_end-run_around_ballo.html Such amendments could potentially "gut" the proposals, attorney Mark Brewer said during a pres...

Re: Let the recounts begin

I'm not the most optimistic about Georgia...I'd love for Abrams/not-Kemp candidates to get enough that it forces a runoff, but she'll need for getting that far to give her one last bounce of support, or she'll still come up short. Runoff is within reach, I hope she gets it - will she win that subseq...

Re: 2018 Election Results Thread

Interesting... given Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and North Carolina’s redrawing of districts In rapid fashion I would have thought they’d be ready and raring to get this underway... once you draw them you really should only have to adjust for population moves every 10 years so an adjustment after 2 yea...

Re: 2018 Election Results Thread

Of course here we just had proposal 2 so we will see how those districts shape up when they redraw them, which I think would happen in 2019. Ah...no. https://www.mlive.com/expo/news/erry-2018/11/052abe75429023/what-the-passage-of-proposal-2.html " What happens next Proposal 2 is set to become part ...

Re: 2018 Election Results Thread

Where have you been following for those? I've been on AP, which has the Court race but not any of the state or university boards. They have ~57,000 votes separating Cavanagh and Wilder. In this case that’s what WXYZ has... I hate that these are so hard to find information on and that it is inconsis...
