Show Notes
Today's show is a look into what we know so far around the election with Steve Friess of Newsweek and Hour Detroit.
We try to unpack it using what we know so far. Topics include:
- Polling was way off on the local level
- The race for president in Michigan was far closer than people expected
- Gary Peters and John James were in a very close Senate race
- Elissa Slotkin and Haley Stevens hold on
- Trump may lose the presidency but he's not going away
- Voter priorities are different than what many expected in a pandemic
- Recounts don't get you many votes because there isn't mass voter fraud
- The reality may be we have 8-12 more years of this divided discord in the country
