The upset in Michigan by Sanders is even more surprising when you consider the fact that Clinton barely won the popular vote in Metro Detroit where the Clintons have dominated vote totals since 1992 and despite the fact that Hilary Clinton was one of the strongest proponents in U.S. Congress of the federal financial bailout of the auto industry.
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loving versus Virginia in 1967 struck down state statutes barring interracial marriage, however the U.S. Justice Department had to obtain a federal court injunction in 1970 since Alabama state court judges continued to enforce such laws.
The State of Alabama legislature refused to repeal this racist legislation, despite its unenforceability, and a ballot initiative passed in the year 2000 to finally rescind this odious and invidious enactment; Alabama voters adopted the initiative by a decisive 60%-40% margin.
