      <description>Over 10,000 ballots were cast Saturday and Sunday at early voting sites across the state, according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

      <title>Fate of early 2024 MI presidential primary date remains open</title>
      <link>https://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2023-01-30/fate-of-early-2024-mi-presidential-primary-date-remains-open</link>
      <description>We could learn this week whether Michigan will host an early presidential primary on February 27 of next year. It has to get done by Wednesday to comply with a national Democratic Party deadline. The problem is Republican National Committee rules would penalize the state Republican Party for moving up its primary date.</description>

      <link>https://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2022-07-29/rashida-tlaib-d-mi-faces-three-challengers-in-newly-drawn-district</link>
      <description>Michigan’s re-designed political boundaries left many voters without an incumbent U-S representative. Several members of Congress switched to new districts adjacent to their old ones.That’s the case in the new 12th Congressional District. It includes portions of west Detroit, western Wayne County, Oakland County, Dearborn and Southfield.Democratic candidates in the new 12th are making incumbent Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib their primary target.</description>
