See VOTERS, Page A2 LOCAL VOTES REFLECT NATIONAL SPLIT IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE M att Jachman hometownlife.com Voters in western Wayne County communities mirrored a divided national electorate as the contest for the White House ended on Tuesday. Billionaire businessman Donald Thump, who won the presidency with at least 279 electoral votes in a stunning upset, fared well in Livonia, Plymouth Township and Gar­ den City, but lost in other Ob­ server-area communities to Hillary Clinton, a former first lady, senator from New York and Secretary of State. Overall, Clinton out polled Thump in the Observer’s Wayne County communities, 107,092 votes to 89,079. Voters from several commu­ nities, interviewed outside their polling places, had strong opinions about the candidates. “Thump is too divisive, and love trumps hate,” said Amy Buege of Plymouth Township, her latter phrase an echo of a Clinton campaign slogan. Buege added that some things Thumps has said about groups of people eliminated him “im­ mediately” as a plausible choice in her view. “Hillary all the way,” said 8ILL BRESLER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Perennial Livonia political gadfly Leo Weber works the polls at Frost Middle School wearing a Donald Trump mask and passing out candy.

  • Analysis of 2016 General Election
    Analysis of 2016 General Election On Tuesday, November 8, voters cast their ballot to decide a number of national, state, and local races and issues. While the results are in, the work needed to create a better society is not finished. It is important that we each seek to heal divisions, pray for elected officials, and engage with them about issues facing our nation, state, and local communities. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), congratulated President-Elect Donald Trump and others who were chosen by the American people on November 8th. He also issued a statement calling for all to work for the common good. The following analysis provides an overview of the results in the race for President, the U.S. House of Representatives, the State House of Representatives, the Michigan Supreme Court, and the State Board of Education. The Michigan State University Board of Trustees, University of Michigan Regents, and the Wayne State University Governors are also included as they are decided by voters at the statewide ballot. This piece will also take a look at the political landscape in Michigan going forward. Trump/Pence Win 75 of Michigan’s 83 Counties At the end of the night and early into the hours of Wednesday, November 9, Michigan proved to be a battleground state in the presidential election, defying polls that suggested Hillary Clinton had a significant lead. In fact, the Detroit Free Press mistakenly called Michigan for Secretary Clinton as early as 9 pm. Unofficial results from the Michigan Secretary of State show that Donald Trump narrowly won Michigan with a total of 2,277,914 votes out of 4,785,223 (47.60%) compared to Clinton’s 2,264,807 (47.33%).
