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.

    That’s not how recounts work. It has to be close, and this wasn’t even close. Recounts address a margin of error. What you’re doing is dog whistling voter fraud, and I very, very seriously doubt you’re actually a staunch leftist.

    You’re just a bad actor trying to give the illusion that our voting system shouldn’t be trusted.

    Well.

    You can fuck right off.

        Ah, fair enough, fair enough.

        Yeah, you got me then. I missed the /s in there. It’s been a long, long 8 years, so my patience has run thin for people who aren’t just making a joke.

        Appreciate you clarifying. Cheers! :)

      Appreciate you saying this.

      Anonymity means you can’t validate who anyone is or how they lean. All we have is logic and rhetoric.
