Summary

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that the state is on track to break its voter turnout record, with 45.8% of registered voters having already cast early or absentee ballots.

As a critical battleground, Michigan could play a key role in deciding both the presidential race and control of Congress. Polling averages show Vice President Harris narrowly leading Trump in the state.

Michigan also hosts an important Senate race to replace retiring Democrat Debbie Stabenow and several competitive House contests.

Polls remain open until 8 p.m.

    Michigan had a contest to design an “I Voted” sticker, the winning design was from a 12 year old.

        Nope, I’m in Oregon, our sticker is boring. :)

        Could be related to a Jacob. Grand dad was one of 12 kids and 11 survived to adulthood. Sooo… 🤷‍♂️ I can’t keep track of everybody.
