LANSING — The Michigan Democratic Party issued the following statement on behalf of MDP Chair Lavora Barnes regarding today’s decision by the Supreme Court on partisan gerrymandering:
“The unfortunate reasoning displayed today by the conservative majority of our U.S. Supreme Court should remind all Michiganders that elections have consequences. This decision, while disappointing, is not surprising. To protect our rights, we must cast our votes for people that share our values and are concerned for the hard-working families of Michigan and their challenges. The voters of Michigan have already spoken, and they want fair elections and their voices heard—not after the next election, not down the road—now.”
