Michigan, my Michigan: We won it all, so what’s next?
On Nov. 8, six years ago, I went to bed heartsick and devastated, knowing not only that Hillary Clinton had lost the Electoral College vote but that Michigan’s 16 votes would be allotted to her opponent. Our margin of defeat, a mere 10,704 votes, could have been made up through better turnout in my own county, where I was active in Democratic leadership.
Thankfully, this Nov. 8, I went to sleep around midnight feeling more sanguine about our prospects.
