More than 101,000 votes—or 13.3% of all voters in Michigan’s Democratic primary—were cast for “uncommitted,” an option that organizers had chosen as their avenue to register outrage toward Biden for his unconditional support of Israel.
That a ballot protest targeting the race’s incumbent would clear the six-figure mark, especially when its goal was just 10,000 votes, is historically significant: Michigan was decided by roughly 150,000 votes when Biden won it in 2020—and around 10,000 in 2016, when it went for Trump.
I don't know if they'll be good or not, BUT, Michigan State University is offering a free "course" online over Zoom, "Adulting 101," where they present about various adult-life topics; finances, banking, relationships, cover letter and resume writing, traveling, cooking, jam making (??), voting, that kind of stuff. Might be worth sitting in on and seeing what they have to say.
Here's a link if you're interested in checking it out, the next class session is on Feb 12th.
