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.

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. Republicans have framed the races as a fight to stop government overreach, while Democrats say it is a battle to preserve reproductive rights.

Regardless, it’s a sentiment that is at its most true in college football.
