2018 Michigan Election Results Coverage

The debates, the arguments, the negative advertising are over. And the results are in. Now, it’s time for more debates and arguments (but hopefully no TV spots) about what those election results portend for Detroit, Michigan and the nation.

One Detroit’s team of journalists – Christy McDonald, Stephen Henderson and Nolan Finley – will take a deep dive into the results and their ramifications on tomorrow’s show, which you can watch at 7:30 p.m. on DPTV (56.1) and on our website.

In the meantime, One Detroit and its partners in the Detroit Journalism Cooperative were on duty yesterday working late into the night reporting on the election and its consequences:
