The Michigan Republican party held its nominating convention this past weekend. Technical problems during voting and intraparty disputes helped draw the normally pro forma event out for hours. Today on the pod, we’ll get into what happened — and we’ll talk about what the party split means for Republicans this election year.

The split in the Michigan GOP was apparent at some county conventions last night, with loyalists to former President Donald Trump pitting themselves against fellow party members. We talked to two reporters who covered the conventions.

We talked to journalist Byard Duncan about his reporting for Reveal. He took a deep dive into how the "Big Lie" that there was widespread voter fraud in 2020 is shaping our next election.
