Michigan election map: Which counties flipped, still uncalled the next day

And I want to show you guys this awesome tool. We previewed it yesterday. We used it throughout election night. And there are still areas that are not fully counted. We have seen a couple of calls this afternoon, though, Roan, too. And that's been the fascinating part. And first of all, shout out once again. We've said it all night last night. Shout out to Dylan Dahlberg, our executive producer, and Joe Tavares, who is AI expert. tech wizard for helping us build this incredible tool. But you look at the at the race right here. Secretary Benson, some races aren't fully called yet, but she's still got a commanding lead called declared victory before the race was called last night. But as she was giving her victory speech, Fox News actually gave her the win in that race. So it was a wild night. The The races we're talking about that were called First of all, 4th District, this is out of West Michigan for my friends out there. But take a look at this. This used to be a Republican stronghold and was for sure generally a lock. Congressman Bill Huizinga had served several terms in that. Sean McCann, the Democrat, projected to flip that this year. And that's remarkable, Ronya, because you look in this area, and I'm going to take our tool and just draw, right along the lakeshore here, That's generally pretty hardcore Republican in that spot. Ottawa County is an Allegan County. And actually, let's take a look at the twenty twenty four results because that that would be interesting. So there's the comparison there against Jessica Schwartz. And in twenty twenty two, it was about the same number there. So definitely a shift. Yeah, definitely a shift like you were saying, like you were saying there. Remarkable there. And that goes along, though, with what we were seeing in these types of races to where Democrats not only spending money in the purple districts and certainly the true blue districts, but also these districts that are really seen as being red. You'd heard a lot of reporting about that in states like Mississippi, other states, Missouri, that they were spending a ton of money and trying to flip these seats. And it appears they were able to do that. Another one, 7th District. This one was one of the most expensive house races. William Lawrence ended up flipping that seat as well, taking over for Tom Barrett. And Ronia, I just want to show you the house races to watch. This was one of the ones that Dylan was talking about. Last night, and I want to show you this, GOP considered it a top priority battleground and $12 million in ads spent in the final week of that race. That's the most in the nation. And I think it was about $700 million spent in Michigan alone for the campaigns. How do we go back to the home? Real quick, I want to show you this too, real quick. Christina Hines. That was rated as a toss-up. This is John James' old seat. He, of course, ran for governor, vacated it. This one was kind of going back and forth last night until late into the night when Christina Hines ended up pulling away. She's now the projected winner with 52% of the vote. Incredible how all this works because this is all in real time when it's being updated. Of course, we've got to go to the hot race of them all, the nationwide spotlight. This one certainly had a lot of people talking. Called late into the night. After 1 o'clock this morning, I want to say, is when it was when Dr. Al-Sayed ended up taking the podium. And, um, I mean, it was so close. That was before Fox called it. That was before AP called it. He declared victory. But the two counties we were watching for were ones that weren't necessarily the most heavily populated. So when you were watching it, you understood the math that they were using there. Yeah, I mean, and take a look at all this, because this gives you an idea of the counties. And I just want to click somewhere just to show people how we... It shows you how dense Wayne County is as far as that goes. So you can zoom in, get a better idea of where these votes were. How all of these votes ended up... Yeah, so you can break it down. And this is on Fox2Detroit.com right now if you want to go mess around with this. For yourself, you won't mess with what we're doing on the air. Or maybe you should try it. Yeah, just give it a shot. Give it a shot. We'll see if people are really using... They are, but... That's so funny. Actually, will you go to the props? Yeah, for sure. Because I feel like the props need some attention because we've heard about some of these proposals. All right. A landslide on this one, which they have to ask that every 16 years, but it was pointed out on our election coverage last night is the fact that, um, We're allowed to change our constitution all the time. Think of all the ballot proposals we pass, including this one, where there was a challenge that was already filed for, filed against it in court. We're going to have to see how that ends up going. But First Amendment concerns that are there, that is what is happening with that. But again, a lot of people voting for the money out of politics, going to the attorney general race, Ali Savitt, Washtenaw County prosecutor, defeating Doug Lloyd. The Eaton County prosecutor had about 400,000 more votes than him. And then in the Secretary of State's race, this race was called late last night as well. Lieutenant Governor, now Secretary of State-elect Garland Gilchrist, winning by a little less than 500,000 votes. Yes, certainly interesting when we watch all of these numbers flip. And the difference from 2024, 2022, and now 2026. And it was really seen as just such a key election for both parties. But there was so much voter frustration with where things have gone with the Trump administration right now that that is clearly what carried it. And you look at how many seats were flipped across the country, not only with the Senate, as far as. Texas going blue with James Tallarico, South Carolina, North Carolina, and then the Texas governor going blue as well, Ron. That really is telling, just given some of these states that are really seen as red flipping blue in certain key races.
