Michigan Election Results Expected November 6

In Ireland, coalition party leaders are set to agree on a general election date, likely before Christmas, with speculation pointing to November 29th. Taoiseach Simon Harris confirmed the election would occur this side of Christmas after pressure from Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman. In Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that election results would be finalized by November 6th, but critics raised concerns about transparency due to this delay. Benson emphasized that the extended timeline is necessary for accurately counting mail-in ballots, despite backlash from political opponents. She reassured the public that the integrity of the election process is paramount and that results could potentially be ready even sooner than expected. The state has already seen significant early voting, with over a million ballots cast, and Benson committed to certifying the results regardless of the outcome.
