Republican county commissioner has been unseated in Michigan after losing to her Democratic challenger by 20 percentage points.
Chris Kleinjans won an Ottawa County election on Tuesday with 60 percent of the vote share, while the Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel lost, having received 40 percent.
Michigan is a battleground state that will be key to November’s presidential election. Donald Trump won the county with 61 percent of the vote in 2020.
i don’t think miscounting can account for a 20 point difference. recounts make sense for close elections.
I was really just kidding and poking fun at the calls for recounts republicans always make. I really don’t believe a 20 point margin can be the result of a miscount. Sarcasm is difficult to convey via text. I’ll leave it, though, I’m a good sport.
oh ok, while I missed the intent I’m glad I avoided assuming malice at least.
