• 37 Hamtramck ballots could flip mayoral race after Michigan Supreme Court declines appeal • Michigan Advance (michiganadvance.com) — Hamtramck's razor-thin 2023 mayoral race may be upended after Michigan's Supreme Court let stand a ruling requiring 37 previously uncounted city ballots to be tallied.
