I can speak to Michigan. We have about 6M voters, mostly concentrated in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing. Due to Republicans having had control of the state house in 2010, they got to redraw the district maps. The result is about 5M voters being neutered by about 1M voters. We’re sick of it. Republicans have spent the last 8 years driving the state into the ground, and passing every bit of ALEC authored legislation they could get their hands on. The ballot initiative is our only route to get free of minority rule.
