I'm happy for Michigan. However, is this enough to flip the State Senate? Redistricting is gonna be a huge deal in 2 years.
I don't know if it will be - there are
a lot of open seats, so it's actually more possible than it's been in a long time, if that helps at all. Keep in mind that Democrats won the popular vote for state House districts by 8 points in 2012 yet failed to flip the chamber. They need to win around 10 - 11 points to flip the state House I think, and that may also be enough for the state Senate. It's definitely possible this year.
However, it's not needed to stop R gerrymandering in Michigan. Whitmer can veto rigged maps, and there is an amendment on the ballot to take redistricting away from the legislature and put it into an independent commission. Both Whitmer and the indie commission amendment look likely to win.
