First look at #MI13, where Wayne County shows zero precincts reporting.... but of the ~12k votes counted, "Squad" member Rashida Tlaib is doubling up her bitter rival, Detroit city council president Brenda Jones.
I'll post updates to this thread.
not much of an update, few thousand more votes counted, Tlaib still leads Jones by a 2-to-1 margin
(Saw a few people saying this race is called. Deep breaths. Wayne counted slow pre-Covid & had problems at polls today. Could be a while before we see volume returns.)
Finally some new numbers in #MI13.... still lots of counting to do, but still Tlaib up roughly 2:1 over Jones
Wayne County is infamously slow, but Covid-19 has really backed things up. We may not see more numbers until tomorrow. For now, we don't have enough data to call #MI13 for Tlaib. I'll post update here in the a.m.
Wow -- we've now got 87% of precincts reporting in #MI13 and Tlaib has maintained her 2:1 lead over Jones. A dominant performance for the supposedly vulnerable incumbent. (I'm not a race caller, but yeah, it's over.)
