Michigan · There is a history here
On a fair ballot, Michigan closes on a majority to leave the union.
Michigan has done this before. The movement here is dormant, not dead.
Michiganadults in Michigan would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 45% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 1.2 million (15%). How we get this number →
Organized here before
This is not new ground.
Michigan has raised an organized independence movement before, in the recent past. It went quiet, which is not the same as gone. Most movements sit quiet for years, right up until they don't. The people who believed it then are still here, and it takes a handful of them to make it a movement again.

The other 520 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Michigan is already a nation in all but name.
If Michigan were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Michigan built the modern automobile and put the country on wheels. People here have always trusted their own hands over distant management. On a fair, calmly worded ballot question, about 45 percent of Michigan would vote to leave the union. That is roughly 3.5 million adults, close to half the state.
Here is why 45 percent is the honest number, not the 15 percent floor. A real vote is binary and peaceful, put to you the way any other measure is. When you word the question that way, support runs about 30 points above the abstract poll. That math puts Michigan within reach of a majority. And Michigan leaned Democratic in 2020, which tells you self-determination is not a red thing or a blue thing. It is a Michigan thing.
