I posted earlier over in the Voter ID thread about some of the ads against Michigan’s proposal 2, which would establish an independent redistricting commission. Those folks are still going strong, even buying Google search ads for anything related to Michigan Prop 2. Here’s a couple more mailers that showed up over the last few days:
I almost admire the craftsmanship of the messaging. Blame liberals. Invoke that terrible blue hellhole, California. Play on the fear of “bureaucrats” controlling your vote. And most of all, claiming that voting against the proposal will “Stop the Political Gerrymandering” - literally exactly what voting yes is intended to do.
Fortunately the good guys are mailing, too.
And best of all, polls have both prop 2 and 3 (which makes it easier to vote) leading by double digits.
Hopefully the ad bombardment won’t change those numbers for the worse.
