Out-of-state students voted in Michigan. They shouldn't have. | Brady

Sophie Boyle is an out-of-state student. She moved from Westchester, New York, to Ann Arbor over the summer to begin her freshman year at the University of Michigan — just in time for her first election. She cast her ballot for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “They made it really easy here. I could switch my registration and vote all in one kind of process,” she said. “New York tends to lean left ... and Michigan is a very competitive, very crucial swing state. I knew that, in terms of where my vote would count more, Michigan was a more substantial place to vote.” Thousands of out-of-state students shared Boyle’s thought process, and most of them supported Democrats. It’s no surprise El-Sayed won Washtenaw County — which includes the University of Michigan — by a 50-point margin. To be clear, El-Sayed and others in his party would have triumphed last week even without the out-of-state vote, especially in overwhelmingly blue college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing. But this election was an anomaly. In normal times, without a historically unpopular president like Donald Trump in the White House, out-of-staters really can make a difference. That’s a problem. Elections have serious consequences.

Plymouth testing cameras at train crossing. Here's where and why

Plymouth motorists tired of waiting for trains to pass may soon have a new way to avoid getting stuck at railroad crossings. The Plymouth City Commission voted unanimously to launch a pilot program that will use cameras to monitor the North Main Street railroad crossing near Bode’s Corned Beef House, allowing drivers to check for blocked crossings through a mobile app or website. If all goes well, cameras could be added at other crossings in the future. “If you’ve ever driven through, worked, lived in, been near the city of Plymouth, you’ve probably experienced … waiting at a train, or two or three,” Plymouth Economic Development Director John Buzuvis said at a Nov. 2 meeting. The city has seven railroad crossings within its 2.2 square miles, all operated by CSX, with trains passing through often enough to cause delays and, sometimes, blockages, he said. More: Police: Garbage truck driver went around lowered gates in Amtrak crash More: Police: Mother, 2 young daughters struck by train in Ecorse How it works The new system, called InterFact, uses solar-powered cameras to capture still images of crossings approximately once per minute, providing crossing status information through a website and mobile platform, including notifications

Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.
