    In Michigan we elected two Democratic Supreme Court justices by nearly a million votes although they are in the non partisan section. And we went for Trump.

    And abortion rights are already protected pretty well here so I don’t know how much of a push that was.

    There were about 1.3 million less votes for justices as there were for President (couldn’t link straight to Michigan results but just click the state).

    Meanwhile, the numbers for Kamala are only about 150k higher than for the justices. Meaning nearly all dems voted for aligned justices while a huge number of Trump voters just didn’t bother with non partisan races or there were a bunch of Trump voters who swung left on Justices.

    I’m hesitant to project any of my own analysis onto those numbers, but it’s an interesting discrepancy.

      the hackers of the voting computers didn’t code for those races because they didn’t have the answers right next to names or they weren’t paid to care so they were left blank.
