Tomorrow is #ElectionDay in Michigan, Missouri, and Washington. That means ✨5 ✨of JVP Action PAC's stellar endorsed candidates are on the ballot tomorrow.

Here's who they are and how you can help get out the vote during this last day! 🧵
We'll be out canvassing for @RashidaTlaib until the polls close - but even if you're not in Detroit, you can help! Hit the phones for however long you can, to make sure we send Rashida back with a MANDATE from the voters to keep up the fight. #MI12

.@huwaida4mi needs you on the phones! Polling shows that the more people hear her message, the more likely they are to support her campaign. That means outreach today is KEY. Will you send texts to get the word out about Huwaida? #MI10

MICHIGAN: is shrinking from 14 to 13 seats, and w/ a new citizens' commission, few incumbents are safe. Somewhat ironically, *Dems* might have more to lose switching from the current GOP gerrymander (left) to a more compact plan (example, right). Here's why...
In 2018, the GOP gerrymander crumbled and Ds picked up two suburban Detroit seats, #MI08 and #MI11. But now, every seat needs to expand. And w/ two Black majority seats to preserve (#MI13 and #MI14 below), there may not be enough blue turf left to protect all four suburban Ds.
For example, it's possible #MI09 Rep. Andy Levin (D) & #MI11 Rep. Haley Stevens (D) get thrown together (below), and #MI08 Rep. Elissa Slotkin is forced to run in a swingy, much more Lansing-centric seat. In the words of one House Dem, "I'm worried we've outkicked our coverage."

Here's a quick illustration of why striking down MI's GOP gerrymander might not necessarily boost House Dems. Take this pretty compact map for example 1/ Image
The problem for Dems is: once you draw two AA-majority Detroit districts, there are four suburban Dem incumbents vying for the limited blue turf in the suburbs: #MI08 Slotkin, #MI09 Levin, #MI11 Stevens, #MI12 Dingell. 2/
In this hypothetical remedial map, Stevens gets a safe Dem #MI11 in Oakland County and #MI12 Dingell keeps a safe Dem #MI12 in Ann Arbor/suburban Wayne Co. 3/
