DOING? THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT
LITTLE GIRL IS NOW IN STABLE
CONDITION THAT 55 YEAR OLD MAN,
ANOTHER INNOCENT BYSTANDER IS
STILL IN SERIOUS CONDITION. AS
OF WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW.
POLICE SAY IT HAPPENED RIGHT
HERE. IT STARTED HERE ON
LAWNDALE AND WIT. BUT THEN THE
SHOOTER DOESN’T STOP THERE. THEY
SAY THAT HE AS HE WAS FLEEING
THE SCENE HE DRIVES DOWN WITH

HOMICIDES IF YOU’RE WILLING TO
FIRE FIRE A BUNCH OF ROUNDS IN
THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD AT
NINE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING. YOU
DON’T CARE. POLICE SAY IT

FIRED FROM THAT SILVER OR GRAY
JEEP. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS ALL
STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. THEY
ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED HERE AND WE
WILL HAVE THOSE UPDATES ON AARON
ON CLICKONDETROIT.COM LIVE IN

A LOOK. AS YOU MENTIONED THE
POLLS OPEN THIS MORNING. THEY’RE
OPEN TILL EIGHT O’CLOCK, NOT
GOING TO LIE. IT’S BEEN VERY
SLOW HERE WITHIN THE LAST HOUR
OR SO, BUT MORE THAN A MILLION
MICHIGANDERS VOTED ABSENTEE AND
AS FAR AS TODAY GOES, SECRETARY
OF STATE SAYS THAT TODAY THINGS
HAVE GONE JUST AS PLANNED. HERE
ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE, A SLOW
BUT FAIRLY STEADY STREAM OF
PEOPLE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO
THIS POLLING LOCATION TO MAKE
SURE THEIR VOICE IS HEARD. WE
DON’T START GRASSROOTS. BY THE
TIME THAT DOES GET TO THE
CAPITAL. VOTE WON’T BE ANY GOOD
IF WE DON’T MAKE SURE VOTE
COUNTS. CAMERAS HAVE BEEN ALL
OVER TODAY FROM THE CITY TO THE
SUBURBS, CHECKING OUT ANY
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. THE GOOD
NEWS TODAY HAS BEEN ALMOST
PROBLEM FREE, ACCORDING TO
MICHIGAN SECRETARY OF STATE
JOCELYN BENSON HAVE SEEN
SMOOTHNESS AT THE POLLING PLACES
THROUGHOUT THE DAY THROUGHOUT
MICHIGAN, ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE
PEOPLE ALL THROUGHOUT THE STATE
REPRESENTING MY OFFICE ON SITE
TO ENSURE IF ANYTHING DOES
HAPPEN, WHERE THERE TO RESPOND
TO IT QUICKLY. THE CONCERN,
BENSON SAYS. TODAY IS NOT THE
PROBLEMS THAT WE’VE SEEN IN THE
PAST WITH MACHINES THAT HAVE
BEEN MALFUNCTIONING OR LOW
VOLUNTEER TURNOUT TODAY THAT
CONCERN IS ABOUT MISINFORMATION
. WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM
FROM PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE WANTING TO BE A PART OF
THE PROCESS, WHICH IS A GREAT
THING. WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FED
MISINFORMATION AND
MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF THE
ELECTIONS PROCESS. I, IN SOME
WAYS ACTIVATED TO POTENTIALLY
INTERFERE WITH THE PROCESS.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
MISINFORMATION BEING SPREAD ON
THE INTERNET. ALSO CASES OF
MISINFORMATION AT DIFFERENT
POLLING LOCATIONS, ALTHOUGH WE
HAVE NOT SEEN THAT TODAY,
TONIGHT AT SIX O’CLOCK WE’RE
TALKING WITH MICHIGAN ATTORNEY
GENERAL DANA NESSEL ABOUT THE
PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO ARE, IN
FACT SPREADING MISINFORMATION.
ALSO, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS
THIS EVENING, TRYING TO GET OUT
THERE AND VOTE. WE WANT TO WORK
TO CORRECT THOSE PROBLEMS. WE
ARE IN TOUCH WITH COUNTY CLERKS
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. ALSO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOUR VOICE IS HEARD AND
REMEMBER, YOU HAVE UNTIL EIGHT
O’CLOCK TONIGHT TO VOTE. WE’RE
LIVE HERE TONIGHT ON THE WEST
SIDE. HANK WINCHESTER. HELP ME
HANK LOCAL 4 ALL RIGHT, HANK
STATEWIDE NOW. THE KEY RACE, OF
COURSE, IS THE GOP GUBERNATORIAL
PRIMARY, WHICH SAW LAST MINUTE
ENDORSEMENT COME THROUGH FROM
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
MCDONALD IS LIVE TONIGHT.
TOMORROW WE HEAD INTO THIS
EVENING WITH THE TWO ORIGINAL
TOP POLLING CANDIDATES NOWHERE
ON THE BALLOT. IT’S BEEN REALLY
INTERESTING. KIMBERLY IT HAS
BEEN INTERESTING AND YOU KNOW
THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE ON THE
BALLOT SUFFER FROM A LACK OF
NAME I D AND CURRENTLY REALLY
ONLY TUTOR DIXON AND KEVIN RINKY
ARE UP IN HEAVY ROTATION ON THE
AIRWAVES IN THE METRO. THE FINAL
SLATE OF GOP GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATES HAS GOP PRIMARY
VOTERS CHOOSING BETWEEN TUTOR
DIXON, RYAN KELLY, RALPH REED
BANK KEVIN RINCKEY AND GARRETT
SOLDANO. BUT IT’S DIXON AND
RINKY WHO HAVE THE MONEY AND THE
ENDORSEMENTS. DIXON LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT WAS ENDORSED BY FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE’S ALSO GOT
THE BACKING OF GOP MEGA DONORS.
THE DEVOS FAMILY RINKY HAS GOT
BETTER NAME ID ON THIS SIDE OF
THE STATE, THOUGH BECAUSE OF HIS
FAMILY’S LONGSTANDING AUTO
BUSINESS, AND HE CAN SELF FUND
BOTTOM LINE. WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE
HOW MUCH DONALD TRUMP
ENDORSEMENT MEANS IN MICHIGAN
GOP PRIMARY. BACK HERE. LIVE
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. YOU KNOW
, POLLING SUGGESTS THAT GOP
PRIMARY VOTERS A PLURALITY OF
THEM WANT TO VOTE IN PERSON AT
THE POLLS? WELL I LIVE IN A VERY
HEAVILY RED AREA. I WAS VOTER
NUMBER 1 11 WHEN I HIT THE POLLS
AFTER NOON TODAY, SO LET’S SEE
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE NUMBERS AS
THE AFTER WORK CROWD STARTS
FILTERING IN BUT IF THEY DO HAVE
A STRONG ABSENTEE TURNOUT IN GOP
PRIMARY VOTERS THAT MAY CHANGE
THE MATH HERE SIMPLY BECAUSE
TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT CAME REALLY
AT THE 11TH HOUR. WE’RE LIVE IN
GRAND RAPIDS TONIGHT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD, LOCAL 4. WE’RE
GETTING BACK TOMORROW.
FREQUENTLY HERE AS WE TAKE YOU
THROUGH ELECTION NIGHT. THE RACE
FOR GOVERNOR, THOUGH NOT THE
ONLY THING THAT WE’RE WATCHING,
OF COURSE, ALSO THE HOTLY
CONTESTED 13TH DISTRICT WITH
SHRIEK CANADA ARE GOING UP
AGAINST ADAM HOLIER AND A HOST
OF OTHER BIG NAMES. THERE’S ALSO
THE BATTLE OF THE INCUMBENTS IN
THE 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
. NO DOUBT YOU’VE SEEN A FEW ADS
FOR THIS ONE. HALEY STEVENS

LIKE TRIPLE DIGITS GOING TO BE A
BIG IMPACT DAY, EVEN THURSDAY,

RUMBLE OF THUNDER, WE’RE NOT
QUITE DONE YET THINGS GET A
LITTLE BIT BETTER AS WE HEAD
TOWARDS THE WEEKEND. IN THE

EVENING. IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE
OUT TIME OUT WHEN THOSE STORMS
GET HERE, HOUR BY HOUR. COMING
