Well, I'm relieved to know that I live in a Blue Michigan county. Biden expanded state vote by 30K

According to the New York Times live feed:

Ingham County with 93% of votes in:

Biden: 94,221 65.1%
Thug: 47,640 32.9%



The blue pocket in the UP around Marquette is interesting. Because of Northern Michigan University?

Elissa Slotkin is up by 4% so it's looking good for her. Gary Peters is closing the gap with James.

Fingers crossed.

I live in a pink county only a mile from a blue one. I spend most of my time in the blue county and that's where all my friends and daughter live, so I'm able to ignore most of the rednecks in northern Macomb!

Gary Peters needs to win this.

I grew up in Charlevoix Country and it was always more liberal than other areas, especially Antrim County. Antrim County is rural but it went blue. It's strange. I'm very disappointed in Charlevoix County. But then again, I'm so very disappointed in America.

We have our own special brand of GOP people who are not above cheating.
