Your turnout of 67.34% at the polls was the highest voter participation in mid-Michigan this cycle, and second-highest in the state. You were beaten only by Leelanau County, where voters turned out to the tune of 73.5%.Bravo!Take your well-deserved bows, and vow to be No. 1 next time! You’ve done better in the past.But, wait! There’s more news: you’ve also become a little less Republican.While Livingston County Republican Party Chair Deb Drick isn’t in imminent danger of having to relinquish her red blazer, the numbers tell the story.Kamala Harris got 37.4% of the vote in 2024, and Jocelyn Benson got 41.3%, for a gain of just under 4 points for the Democrats. President Trump got 61.32% in 2024, dropping to 57.3 in 2026, for a loss of 4 points for the Republicans.Is that a swing to the Dems of 4 points or 8 points? I’ve seen it expressed both ways. No matter which is correct, it’s still significant.I wrote this piece after the 2022 midterms in which I looked at the pinking of Livingston County from a more local election perspective.It will be interesting to see how the trend fares in 2028.</div></body>
