Yes, I have to support my main man Ted Cruz

Though I still have an out of state DL, so unless I can dig up my old passport the voter ID law might keep me from voting.

Register to vote, dammit. The system sucks, but short of a hilariously short and one-sided armed revolution -- they have flying missile robots and we don't -- it's the most direct thing we can do.

untrue!

the state lost a lawsuit about this so you can either show one of the required ID forms or

1) sign a form saying you couldn't get one; and
2) show another form of ID, such as your voter registration card (which you should have gotten in the mail) or a utility bill or bank statement with your name and address on it

the republicans want a handful of white men to vote for them, and the democrats want to get exactly one fewer vote, so they can continue to be a major party without any of the responsibility of governing

electing libs is really the best way to own the libs, the last thing they want is to be expected to act on their words

the three proposals on the ballot this year are to legalize pot, set up an independent citizen commission to redraw the district borders, and to change the state constitution to add automatic voting registration and reinstate straight ticket voting.

I've received leaflets in the mail against all three already.

In Nevada we passed universal background checks for guns and the government was like "lol we don't know how to implement this so we're not gonna."

We also legalized weed though so no one really cares.

Statewide Proposal 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.

This proposal would:

Allow individuals 21 and older to purchase, possess and use marijuana and marijuana-infused edibles, and grow up to 12 marijuana plants for personal consumption.
Impose a 10-ounce limit for marijuana kept at residences and require amounts over 2.5 ounces be secured in locked containers.
Create a state licensing system for marijuana businesses and allow municipalities to ban or restrict them.
Permit retail sales of marijuana and edibles subject to a 10% tax, dedicated to implementation costs, clinical trials, schools, roads, and municipalities where marijuana businesses are located.
Change several current violations from crimes to civil infractions.

quote:

Statewide Proposal 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.

This proposed constitutional amendment would:

- Create a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State:

- 4 each who self-identify as affiliated with the 2 major political parties; and

- 5 who self-identify as unaffiliated with major political parties.

- Prohibit partisan officeholders and candidates, their employees, certain relatives, and lobbyists from serving as commissioners.

- Establish new redistricting criteria including geographically compact and contiguous districts of equal population, reflecting Michigan’s diverse population and communities of interest. Districts shall not provide disproportionate advantage to political parties or candidates.

- Require an appropriation of funds for commission operations and commissioner compensation.

quote:

Statewide Proposal 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 postelection audits to the Michigan Constitution

This proposed constitutional amendment would allow a United States citizen who is qualified to vote in Michigan to:

Become automatically registered to vote when applying for, updating or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued personal identification card, unless the person declines.
Simultaneously register to vote with proof of residency and obtain a ballot during the 2-week period prior to an election, up to and including Election Day.
Obtain an absent voter ballot without providing a reason.
Cast a straight-ticket vote for all candidates of a particular political party when voting in a partisan general election.
