Filling out my absentee ballot today. There are 2 state proposals I'm researching.

Here is 20-1 c&p from here:



Here is 20-2 c&p from here:



Not sure how to go on 20-1, but I see Sierra Club is against it.

Definitely voting yes on 20-2.

For judges I'm leaning towards the following:

Justice of Supreme Court: Kerry Lee Morgan and Brock Swartzle

I'm ignoring other judicial races where there are X candidates and you get X votes.

MUCC asks sportsmen to vote YES on Prop 1....

I think the same way as you on Prop 2 (but will research it more 1st).

As for MI Supreme Court Justices, the conservative choices are;

Mary Kelly and Brock Swartzle

Kerry Lee Morgan is Pro Gun

Good info, I'm not familiar with the judges.

Yup I was stuck on props and judges

Here is what primo 2A lawyer Jim Makowski wrote in a similar thread on the Michigan Gun Owners (MGO) Forums;

"In an ideal world, I would vote for Mary Kelly and Kerry Morgan. In the world of reality, Kerry has almost no chance of winning. Brock Swartzle and Mary Kelly were nominated by the GOP. Bridget McCormack and Elizabeth Welch by the Demoncrats."

Here is the full discussion; https://www.migunowners.org/forum/showthread.php?445494-Michigan-Judges-chioces

So realistically, Mary Kelly and Brock Swartzle are our best shot for the MI Supreme Court.

Please share this information with all your conservative friends!

Thanks for the info on the judges.

I wrote this up in response to some local inquiries. (Started with info I found here, then dug in a little more.)


    On proposal 20-1, I tried reading through it and couldn't make much sense of what the changes would be. I was going to vote no, but then I found out that the Sierra Club wants people to vote no, and M.U.C.C. supports it (link ->  https://mucc.org/ ).
If anyone doesn't remember, M.U.C.C put up half of the legal expense money back in 2000-2001 to fight Granholm's attempt to block the CPL bill in court. (She lost, and we got the Concealed Pistol law on the books.)
MUCC also went to court over Whitmer's motorboat ban, etc.


    On prop 20-2, it's a clear yes. A principled conservative legislator named Jim Runestad has been trying to get this into the Michigan Constitution for a while.  It's about making it illegal for police (or anyone else) to be able
to scan and search the cell phones of anyone driving by, without a warrant or anything except the equipment. They can collect contacts, messages, calling records, etc. with what's commonly called a "Stingray" cell tower impersonator.
I think it will be a safe yes result; Ballotpedia couldn't find anyone to speak against it:  https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Prop2

I'm leaning towards YES on prop 1, with understanding it's so damned complicated it probably doesn't stand a chance.

My absent voter ballot does not have "Drake" on it for Judges, so therefore invalid. How many ole fudds like me will just send it in and call it a day.

I found out about that talking to my neighbor , and a 'Nam vet , who was driving my vehicle back to the fix it garage. His kid owns the shop, and he just does fudd stuff like me.

Vote IN PERSON!

DO NOT vote for McCormack.

Here's another endorsement of Swartzle & Kelly (from UnLock MI);

There are two outstanding rule of law candidates running for Supreme Court:

   Court of Appeal Judge Brock Swartzle
   Former St. Clair County Assistant Prosecutor Mary Kelly

Both SWARTZLE and KELLY can be counted on to interpret the constitution and the law as it's written, not how some progressive interest group WISHES it had been written.

Both SWARTZLE and KELLY can be counted on to maintain checks and balances in Michigan government, and not let a power-hungry governor run rampant.

Both SWARTZLE and KELLY can be counted on to protect our freedom!

Drake is running unopposed .
