Bill Ballenger has an interesting take on the three judge panel (Circuit Court Judge Raymond Kethledge, Western District Court judges Paul Maloney and Janet Neff) Agee v Benson decision against the vile 2022 Michigan Independent Citizen's Redistricting Commission (MICRC) racial and partisan gerrymanders. He believes it likely that the three judge panel will enjoin replacement elections for State Representatives in both Warren and Westland. This will disable one leg of the Democrat trifecta now controlling our State:
https://www.theballengerreport.com/b...-but-now-what/
Question 3 ...: WILL THE FEDERAL THREE-JUDGE PANEL FIND THAT MICHIGAN’S CURRENT STATE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS, CREATED BY REAPPORTIONMENT, WHICH START IN DETROIT AND EXTEND OUT INTO OAKLAND AND MACOMB COUNTY SUBURBS SO DILUTE BLACK VOTING POWER AS TO VIOLATE THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT?
"On Question 3, it’s YES again, but important questions remain. Yes, the three-judge federal panel found major fault with the MICRC’s addle-brained gerrymander of state House and Senate districts, which ran roughshod over the federal Voting Rights Act. But who is going to draw new maps? The flawed and incompetent MICRC? Or a special master? We won’t know until after the start of the year. Also, what about those special elections to fill vacant state House and Senate seats in Warren and Westland? If they’re impacted by the new maps, and the court says no elections can be held in ANY legislative districts going forward until the maps are straightened out, the special elections may be postponed, perhaps until late in the year, meaning that the 54-54 current D/R tie in the state House may last far longer than three months, thus torpedoing Democrats’ and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s agenda. Stay tuned — there’s more to come on this one, too."
A 54 - 54 political party split will require bipartisan control of Michigan House committees, something the Democrats sought to avoid by adjourning early for 2023 (last month), and for an extended duration into 2024. The unwinding of the vile Michigan Independent Citizen's Redistricting Commission (MICRC) racial and partisan gerrymanders will further disrupt the Democrat trifecta. This will abruptly change health policy creation in the State of Michigan.

A protracted House tie certainly would impact health policy legislation - and make election year accountability a whole lot more interesting.
But didn't the D's insert a provision in legislative rules this year to preempt shared Speakership?

The rules of the Michigan House can always be changed by a majority vote of its members. They are not immutable for the entire term.
All the Republicans have to do in a 54 - 54 tie situation is vote against every bill on the floor as a bloc until the Democrats agree to, and actually do, revise the rules.
