Controllinig state supreme courts is huge. Michigan had non partisan redistricting that the state supreme court allowed on the ballot when the GOP tried to remove it. This was actually made possible by a GOP judge going against her party. So we redistricted. Then other ballot initiatives like legal weed, protecting voter rights, and protecting women's body autonomy rights made the ballot and drove lberal turnout.
