What the Perry Johnson ballot fight says about Michigan's GOP governor's race

On the third day of the Mackinac Policy Conference, the focus was on the governor's race after Perry Johnson was approved for the ballot despite a former advisor's complaint alleging his team altered nominating petitions. The Board of Canvassers, noting no official complaint was presented, unanimously cleared Johnson, which is expected to intensify his rivalry with James. Meanwhile, the Democratic Senate candidate debate, moderated by the reporter, remained civil as Haley Stevens, Abdul El-Sayed, and Mallory McMorrow focused on their platforms without attacking each other.
