I do not recall who it was over on the #StandUpMichigan Slack server (not going to pile through all those older posts to find who) that informed me that BALLOTPEDIA.org had misleading information about Michigan Primaries (and it was confusing people new to #Michigan #politics or getting more involved and finally more about political further involvement in some Michigan specifics they never priorly learned about)...
#BALLOTPEDIA added "some language" but I fear it is still not enough... Below is email response I sent them after they said they added "some" new language to their system for #MI #Elections (but, our State is NOT the only one's like this and I hope they will do more)...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you I just checked the #MSC https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Supreme_Court_elections,_2022
and saw added " nomination at party #convention "
that is reasonable/short clarification needed.
However, it would be nice if that had a footnote to a #balotpedia sub-page dedicated to further clarifying that (and which) states make that distinction and SPECIFICALLY THAT ONE HAS TO BE A #DELEGATE to go to Party Convention format to be able to participate in such at #Convention only #Primary (not the open, general, Fall Primary at local #Precincts).
I did not look closer, too... Is there official mention of "#DELEGATE #candidates" on 2022 ballot. One has to file a #PRECINCT #DELEGATE #AFFIDAVIT (#PDA, filed to persons #County by May 4) in order to appear on August Primary ballot to become a new or be re-elected as a Delegate (re-up, every two years, even calendar years)!
I have NOT checked specifics on #MIAG, #MISOS, #MILG, State Board of Ed, Board of #Regents, others; but TRUST that the same specific/distinction/clarification/FACTS was added to each of those sub-pages.
I was, however, hoping language specifically identifying those races as PARTISAN NOMINATIONS, BY DELEGATES, ONLY AT PARTY STATE CONVENTION clarification be in the general (https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_elections,_2022) page as has happened for decades and will continue to happen every even numbered year for some of those and every 4 (still only on/in even number cycle) years.
As, again, I have had people MISREAD the pages and think they are going to get to choose those Party nominees at General Primary in August - MISLEAD to believe that.
Thank you for your assistance.
WE are trying to educate people via our https://www.12cdrc.org/micd12gop-take-action-as-a-delegate page, but of course we can only get so many to visit that page to LEARN THE DISTINCTIONS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, something I share, and reshare, and post in groups, all over social media.... uh huh, lol at those who think it is productive to yell at the Players, Coaches, or Referee's on the Field cuz TOO LAZY to suit up and help change the Game by being on the Field to effect the score/outcome... absolutely BACKWARDS THINKING... If you WANT CHANGE you have to BE INSIDE HELPING US TO FORCE THE CHANGE...
And as for moron's talking about PATRIOT PARTY...
They are OUT OF STEP with #POTUS45 and #TRUMP2024..
#NEWSMAX Reported: TRUMP ENDS PATRIOT PARTY TALK, WILL PRIMARY #NEVERTRUMPERS!
And POTUS45 reiterated such at CPAC!
Spare us all the "NO LONGER REGISTERED #REPUBLICAN" manure posts! If that is all some ever were, THEY WERE/ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM (and should look in the Mirror)! Takes MORE than that.... Shall know them by their Fruits (and what is it THEY actually did?)!
Also: Spare us the line "BOTH PARTIES ARE EQUALLY PATHETIC/BAD!" If some think the #GOP is inadequate, and many times, IMO, I think it is (many who do not uphold Platform planks/principles/values (tho, yes, of course, we are a BIG TENT and not going to agree on 100% EVERYTHING but there are a couple BIG/KEY/CRITICAL things that supposed to set us apart from FASCICRATS*)) --- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP?? Are YOU a #PrecinctDelegate (PD)?!?!
Why #Conservatives MUST become Precinct Delegate http://drewmckissick.com/why-conservatives-should-get-involved-in-the-republican-party/ (aka: https://tinyurl.com/BeAGOPDelegate)
You can scream all you like from the Bleachers, if you want to help shape the outcome of the Game/Score you have to get on the Team and actually FIGHT to shape the outcome of the Game from/while ON THE FIELD!
"Help becoming a PD" in MI (DuckDuckGo search for other States): https://www.michiganfreedomfund.com/become_a_precinct_delegate (aka: https://tinyurl.com/BeAMIGOPDelegate)
Get involved. Become a PD. Then try to become a member of your District or County Republican Committee (or even Run for Chair of them)! EXERT REAL INFLUENCE! Go to the State Convention!
We need reinforcements INSIDE to help root out CINOs/RINOs as well as FASCICRATS!!!
https://www.12cdrc.org/micd12gop-take-action-as-a-delegate
NOTE the CINOs / RINOs count on everyone's complacency and unwillingness to GET/BE INVOLVED... They count on it to maintain their power and control... Those who still SIT ON THE SIDELINES and scream from the Bleachers rather than (become a Delegate) suit up and get on the Field to help shape the outcome of the Score / Game are USEFUL IDIOTS TO/FOR THE RINOS (they love those who only whine, BUT DO NOTHING)!
