students participated in the 
2014 midterms. Initiatives like 
the Big 10 Voting Challenge and 
Turn Up Turnout have aimed to 
mitigate voter turnout gaps in 

hopes that more students will 
vote in the upcoming election.

“I was a little worried after 

the Kavanaugh hearings that 
enthusiasm was going to die 
out,” Lounds said. “So I’m 
hoping this (event) will hype 
people up, get everybody ready 
and make these last 18 days 

of (Get Out the Vote) and the 
last 18 days before the election 
count.”

The Whitmer rally began 

with brief remarks from state 
Rep. Yousef Rabhi and state 
Sen. Rebekah Warren, as well 
as candidates for the Board of 
Regents Jordan Acker and Paul 

Brown. Acker stressed the 
importance 
of 
electing 

progressive 
Democrats 

like Brown and himself to 
the board.

“We have never had a 

regent at this University 
that has had student debt 
before; we have never had 
a regent that graduated 
from college this century 
on 
the 
board,” 
Acker 

said. “We can do so much 
better.”

Dana Nessel and Jocelyn 

Benson, 
Democratic 

nominees 
for 
attorney 

general and secretary of 
state respectively, each 
received standing ovations 
during 
their 
speeches 

Friday night.

“The Republicans are 

scared of me … they’re 
labeling me ‘Dangerous 
Dana,’” Nessel said. “I am 
going to be dangerous to 
the Trump administration. 
I will be dangerous to 
anybody who infringes 
upon the rights and the 
civil liberties of the people 
who live here in the state 

of Michigan.”

The 
event 
attracted 

Michigan 
Democrats 
from 

across the state, but they were 
also met with protest from the 
University’s chapter of College 
Republicans who stood close to 
the line of hopeful attendees, 
along 
with 
members 
from 

Americans for Prosperity, a 
conservative 
organization 

known for its ads attacking 
Whitmer.

LSA junior Austin McIntosh, 

communications chair for the 
College Republicans, said the 
group was protesting in support 
for free speech, regardless of 
ideology or political party.

“In my opinion, what we’re 

trying to do is let people know 
that there are other opinions 
out there, whether it be from 
the right or the left,” McIntosh 
said. “All we’re trying to do on 
campus is promote freedom of 
speech.”

Dingell was next to take 

the stage, where she spoke on 
immigration reform and equal 
rights for women.

“We cannot let (Republicans) 

win, and democracy is under 
attack,” Dingell said. “We need 
everybody across the state to roll 
up their sleeves, to volunteer … 
let’s take America back to where 
it’s supposed to be.”

GL A SS PUMPKIN FEST

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the 

former actor and California 
governor, spoke Friday at a rally 
held in East Lansing to voice 
his support for Proposal 2 and 
thegroup Voters Not Politicians. 
The 
advocacy 
coalition 

endorses the creation of a 
nonpartisan commission that 
would redraw district lines.

Proposal 2 will appear on 

the Nov. 6 Michigan midterm 
ballot. If the proposal passes, 
the Secretary of State will 

oversee the selection of 13 
commission members — four 
Republicans, four Democrats, 
and five independents or third-
party affiliated.

Schwarzenegger 
said 
the 

issue of gerrymandering needs 
to be fixed, commending the 
work of Katie Fahey, founder of 
Voters Not Politicians.

“It’s easy to complain, but 

then to go up and say, ‘I’m going 
to do something about it’ — that’s 
what she did,” Schwarzenegger 

said. “I’m so proud that all of 
you are here today.”

California is the only state 

to have a similar system to 
the one Proposal 2 would 
create if passed. As governor, 
Schwarzenegger 
backed 
the 

California 
Citizens 

Redistricting 
Commission, 

which was passed in November 
2008.

Schwarzenegger 
has 
also 

supported efforts in updating 
the redistricting process in 

Missouri, Colorado and Utah.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence 

has also been an outspoken 
advocate 
for 
Proposal 
2. 

Represent 
Michigan, 
the 

state’s chapter of the national 
group RepresentUs, released 
a 
video 
with 
Lawrence 

endorsing the proposal this 
week.

While addressing the crowd 

at the rally, Schwarzenegger 
encouraged 
the 
state 
to 

“terminate gerrymandering.”
