El-Sayed's election victory was can't-miss history for this Detroiter

When retired Wayne County Judge Craig Strong says he is a “student of history,” the lifelong Detroiter is talking about history that he has absorbed, which goes well beyond the pages of history books. For example, on June 23, 1963, a 15-year-old Strong and his parents, the late Erman and Manila Geraldine Powers Strong, were among the 125,000 people that attended the Detroit March To Freedom that ended downtown at Cobo Hall, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a version of his “I Have A Dream” speech for the first time. Fast-forward to April 1994 and Strong could be found in South Africa serving as an observer for the United Nations during the election that would ultimately lead to Nelson Mandela being inaugurated as the country’s first Black president on May 10, 1994, after Mandela had spent 27 years in South African prisons during his fight against apartheid. And on the evening of Tuesday, November 3 — and into the early morning of Wednesday, Nov. 4 — Strong was on the scene for another major political event during an election night party held by Michigan Democrats at The Department at Hudson’s in downtown Detroit. The long hours of sitting

Voter surge in Michigan's college towns help drive Democratic wins

High turnout among young voters in the Nov. 3 midterm election was driven by college students, helping to give Democratic candidates a boost that led to a historic blue wave in Michigan, according to a Detroit News analysis of turnout and election results data. Michigan set a midterm election turnout record when 4.76 million Michiganians cast ballots in November, exceeding the 4.5 million votes cast four years ago. In Ann Arbor, 72% of registered voters cast a ballot for a turnout rate that was 15 percentage points higher than the presidential election two years ago and 23 percentage points higher than the 2022 midterm election. Other cities with large public universities also saw an uptick in turnout, including Ypsilanti (24% higher than 2022), Allendale Township (19% higher), Kalamazoo (6% higher), Marquette (6% higher) and East Lansing (5% higher). “Because Michigan's a swing state and we had a high-profile Senate race, we anticipated that we might get presidential-level interest,” said John Ryan, the faculty director of UMich Votes, a nonpartisan organization at the University of Michigan that supports voter registration and information in Ann Arbor. At two sites on the University of Michigan campus, where students and other Ann Arbor residents
