For once, we could rejoice when a creature joins the list of extinct species in Michigan.

On Nov. 6, you can help send partisan gerrymandering, a practice that allows politicians to pick their voters, into extinction by voting yes on Proposal 2.

If voters approve the measure, Michigan's next political map would be drawn by a citizens commission composed of four Democrats, four Republicans, and five voters unaffiliated with either major party. In other words, Michigan voters would pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Check out my past work on the problem of partisan gerrymandering (below) and be sure to vote on Nov. 6.
