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.

As Michigan struggles, Utah transplants dealing with 'bigger microscope'

ANN ARBOR — When a season isn’t living up to expectations at a place like Michigan, everything, rightfully so, gets hyper-analyzed and magnified. Michigan receiver JJ Buchanan was at Utah last season before following head coach Kyle Whittingham to Ann Arbor when he took over the Wolverines ’ program. Buchanan laughed when asked if the microscope on the Michigan program is more intensely focused here than what he experienced with the Utes . “It’s a bigger microscope here, for sure,” Buchanan told reporters this week after practice. Not that anyone expected otherwise, but the reality is the coaches and players who joined Whittingham from Utah, where he was head coach the last 21 seasons, as well as from BYU, are experiencing heat and criticism they’ve probably never endured. That’s what happens when you nosedive from a preseason No. 16 ranking to a 5-4 overall record, 2-4 Big Ten. After the ninth game, Michigan’s 15-6 loss to Michigan State last weekend , Whittingham fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck less than 24 hours later , despite after the game saying he would wait until after the season to evaluate him. Whittingham certainly has been the subject of considerable criticism, with calls from
