Updates from Carrie on Past Election (Midterms)

We need to start litigating to start making any sort of progress on saving our elections and state. We had 55% turnout in Alcona County, which was great. The EMS Millage passed in our county. All township millages passed in the county. We need to focus more on homeschooling, and also, insert ourselves into Social Media more than we currently are doing.
