This is ridiculous. If the 2012 election in Michigan was fair there would be a Democratic controlled legislature as more people vote for Democratic House and Senate candidates. But due to the extreme Republican gerrymandering they kept control of both houses against the will of the people.
Wait a minute! I thought that was a Democrat tactic?
But what you said is baloney anyway. They won because that was what people wanted.
On the other hand, if I give you your theory, one could certainly say that Obama won because of the Democrat dirty tricks (a.k.a. election fraud) in the swing states. Here in Ohio, we really wanted Romney to win. He was popular with a majority of people. But, dang those Deomcrat rascals! They manipulated the votes in certain areas and subverted the process so that Obama got more votes!

That is total BS. As in Mich, in Ohio more votes were cast for democratic candidates but the GOP ends up with a 14 to 4 advantage in the US Congress. That isn't what the ppl of either state wanted. They pack dem voters into 95% to 5% districts and then spread out GOP voters in 60% to 30% districts that favor them.
And you just plan making stuff up about Obama/romney. Mittens had little chance to win any swing state, much less Ohio. If you are making BS claims back them up, what counties? FYI, Ohio SOS is a GOP and he controls the elections.
RTW has done absolutely NOTHING for Arizona. Wages are in the toilet and the state still has to giveaway the farm in order to attract business here. And even when they do that, our undereducated workforce is still a deterrent.
Snyder and the Koch Bros Mich GOP learned from the mistake Kasich made in Ohio. They made sure the new "Right to Work yourself to death for peanuts" bill included some spending. Under MI law, that means it is not subject to a recall vote by the people:
Unions do exist in RTW states, folks. The only losers in this equation are the union management who require forced dues extraction to sell their product, and to fund their 6 figure salaries and lush benefit packages.
I still think they voters of Mich can file a referendum that undoes the provisions of the law the oppose.
I think the OP is saying that adopted bills which include spending are not subject to referendum.
If this is true, voters cannot petition to refer it to the ballot (which would suspend the law until voters decide, if signatures are filed timely). But there is nothing stopping voters from qualifying an initiative to repeal the law.
