LANSING, Mich. — The results of Michigan's November 2020 election are accurate and ballots were handled securely. That's the determination of the Michigan Bureau of Elections after 250 audits were carried out on results across the states.

The report released today shows that nearly all ballots matched up with voter records, and in the cases that did not match there were straight-forward ways to recount the balance.
