Unpacking Michigan's Election Day turnout

Michigan set a record in the 2024 election. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that 79% of eligible voters in the state cast their ballots — the highest turnout in the state's history. However, turnout in Detroit decreased — and nationwide, nearly 13 million voters stayed home. The efforts to expand voter rolls are working, but why aren't they connecting in places like Detroit? Mario Marrow, political consultant and president of Mario Marrow and Associates, and Brady Baybeck, professor of political science at Wayne State University, join Created Equal to discuss what happened, and what it means for our democracy going forward.

Hosted by Stephen Henderson, Created Equal is about the promise of opportunity and the challenge of inequality from the city that built America — Detroit.
