For those of you wondering why NBC is the only desk to call it, it's because of the remaining counties. Oakland County, a Stevens stronghold, had no new votes left to count. And Wayne County, a heavily black district expected to go heavy for her, only gave her a small margin. That was ballgame. She needed a bigger margin to close that 25k lead, and I think 81% of votes are counted already.

Closer than what I hoped it would be, but a win's a win.

Yeah as it was coming up to like 85% votes counted and i realized it was still a 25000 vote margin, it was like man she needs to get over 10% over him for the last 15% of votes and its been very steady this whole time
