What the race covers
The heavily Democratic 13th District is anchored by Detroit and includes nearby Wayne County communities. Because election-night returns are unofficial, Just Say OK will identify whether a result is an incomplete lead, a projected winner call or a completed unofficial count.
How we will verify the winner
Vote totals will be taken from the Wayne County unofficial federal results. A projected winner will be attributed to a named decision desk, and a complete unofficial result will be labeled separately from the later certified result.
