is worth a read. For years, Democrats have won a statewide popular vote majority in the Michigan House, only to see Republicans win a majority of seats in the legislature. But that could all change when fair maps are drawn.
Michigan’s old maps were so undemocratic, they got thrown out by a federal court. But next year, an independent redistricting commission will draw fair maps, giving Dems our first real chance at winning the state House & Senate in decades.
