Today on Stateside, a reporter for Michigan Pubic Radio Network gave us the rundown on the Michigan Democrats' endorsement convention over the weekend. Plus, President Trump recently ordered that eligible voter lists be created for each state. Michigan Public's Political Director and reporters from Bridge Michigan and Votebeat broke down what this executive order means in a new segment of FAQ Squad.
