A report listing people who cast ballots in Michigan alongside multiple addresses had a formatting error. It wasn't proof of voter fraud.

It's not hard to spot some important clues for why Harris lost a few extra votes that a candidate like Elissa Slotkin didn’t.

Michigan Democrats have one last chance to wield their legislative majorities to pass bills opposed by Republicans. Their agenda remains unclear.

Eight years ago, Republican nominee Donald Trump carried Michigan by the slimmest of margins, two-tenths of a percentage point, riding a wave of populist anger and general indifference toward the major party candidates on his way to the White House.

While Michigan Supreme Court seats are nonpartisan, candidates are nominated at state party conventions. Democratic justices currently hold a 4-3 majority on the Court. Republicans can gain a 4-3 majority if both O'Grady and Fink win.

According to Nate Silver 's popular model in late October 2024, Harris held a lead in Michigan, with 48.4 percent of the projected vote compared to Donald Trump's 47.2 percent, giving her a slight 0.4 point advantage. This margin had reduced from earlier in the month with Trump improving his numbers by 0.9 points since September.

While it will still be a few days before the final numbers are tabulated, Benson said the state is above 5.5 million ballots cast.

Democratic Representative Elissa Slotkin has won the Senate election in Michigan and former GOP Representative Mike Rogers conceded.

Trump supporters trust their candidate over experts or critics — they believe he can deliver on promises of lower prices, a closed border and more.

Analysts predict Trump's policies will benefit oil companies and warn they also could lead to price increases.

Working-class voters, people of color and immigrants voted in lower numbers or moved to Trump, and national party leaders ignored local organizers.

Michigan's top election official touted a successful 2024 election and said tabulation is mostly complete, earlier than it was four years ago.
