MICHIGAN — Elections in Michigan may end up a matter of a few thousand— or even a few hundred votes— as both races for Senate and President continue to elude conclusion.
Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers have been playing tug-of-war over Michigan's Senate race— At just as 7 a.m. hit, Slotkin took the lead, by just 1,838 votes.
Here's a screenshot of the race at 6:56 a.m.
And here's the race as of just after 7 a.m.
Just before 11 a.m. Elissa Slotkin's campaign issued a statement saying they expect to be able to claim victory in the race.
“With more results being counted in Wayne County, Elissa has taken a lead of almost 20,000 votes, and our margin will continue to grow as the remaining ballots are processed," said Slotkin campaign communication director Austin Cook. "When all the votes are counted, we’re confident that Elissa Slotkin will have been elected as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.”
Meanwhile US Presidential Election results are still too close to call in the Mitten.
While Michigan's 15 electoral votes aren't enough to overcome the former President's lead, nationally, there is a difference of only 1.5% between the candidates in Michigan just before 7 a.m. Wednesday.
