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

Nessel scrutinizes DTE plans for Google data center in Van Buren Twp.

LANSING — State regulators should require DTE Energy and Google to provide more details on costs and financing for a massive data center in Van Buren Township to ensure those project costs won't bleed into other customers' rates, Attorney General Dana Nessel's office argued in a regulatory filing last week. Nessel's office made the arguments in a petition for rehearing submitted to the Michigan Public Service Commission on Nov. 2, about a month after the commission approved special contracts between DTE Electric Co. and Google for the western Wayne County data center. At the time, the commission said the contracts were "conditioned on mandatory protections to prevent other customers from having to bear any costs associated with the project." But Nessel's office, in its filing, argued state regulators should require more concrete numbers from DTE as it evaluates costs and benefits, including the costs of the electricity transmission line expansions required for the data center, to ensure those costs aren't passed onto ratepayers. Additionally, Nessel's office said the commission should require stronger assurances from Google about what costs or stranded assets it would cover in the event of an earlier-than-expected closure of the data center. "The unintended consequence of these

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.
