Michigan GOP nominates judge for Supreme Court after man charged in election tampering drops out
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Republicans nominated Circuit Court Judge Patrick O’Grady for one of two open Supreme Court seats Saturday after a prominent attorney, who faces felony charges of trying to illegally access and tamper with voting machines after the 2020 election, dropped out of the race. Supreme Court races in Michigan are officially nonpartisan, meaning candidates appear without a party label on the ballot, but the nominees are chosen by party convention. Democratic-backed justices currently hold a 4-3 majority. Republican victories in both races would flip control of the court, while two Democratic wins would yield a 5-2 supermajority.

Michiganders enshrined the right to abortion in the state in 2022.
