Prop 2 could bring more historic election turnouts in Michigan

What they're saying: "I think we're seeing a trend in the state, where more and more Michiganders are turning out and participating," Nancy Wang, executive director of Voters Not Politicians, one of the groups that helped pass Prop 2 and Prop 3 in 2018, tells Axios.

Flashback: Prop 3 allowed for no-reason absentee voting, which led to higher turnout in college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing at the midterms. Students stood in line to register and vote for hours after their polls closed.

• "I know people are going to be looking to make improvements to same-day; there are things that we can study about this election to further make voting easier," Wang says.

What we're watching: Republicans have generally criticized absentee voting. It's still unclear whether there's momentum among party leadership to encourage early voting following last month's statewide losses.
