The ousted Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel had previously described Ottawa County as "very conservative."

Republican county commissioner has been unseated in Michigan after losing to her Democratic challenger by 20 percentage points.

Chris Kleinjans won an Ottawa County election on Tuesday with 60 percent of the vote share, while the Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel lost, having received 40 percent.

Michigan is a battleground state that will be key to November’s presidential election. Donald Trump won the county with 61 percent of the vote in 2020.

    I was being very sarcastic and that was obviously a failure. I was poking fun at the right’s constant calls for recounts. There’s no way a 20 point spread can be due to a miscount.

      forgive me then, your voice got lost in a sea of idiots who simply cannot accept having lost under any circumstances.
