Live results of Michigan House of Representatives races in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties.

We’ve made it to the 2020 election, where much more than just the presidency will be decided.

Normally, the WDET news team would be out in the field, covering election night events into the wee hours of the morning to bring you up-to-the-minute updates, analysis, and results. This year looks a little different: The coronavirus pandemic has put a hold on election-night gatherings and has led to unprecedented levels of absentee voting, which means results likely won’t be known the night of the election, or even in the days immediately following the election.

WDET is committed to bringing you accurate information about the races and will do so on-air and online when election results are available.
