Michigan official's election night takes unexpected turn at Ford Field

Michiganʼs top election official had just finished praising voting process at Detroitʼs Ford Field. The following moments brought news that changed everything about that night

At Detroitʼs Ford Field a regular election-night update turned into a moment of stark contrast (missing comma here intentionally). Jocelyn Benson Michiganʼs Secretary of State wrapped up her speech about smooth voting procedures; the nights mood was about to shift dramatically.

After giving her up-beat report on the states well-run election process Benson got unexpected news: Donald Trump looked likely to win. This info hit hard — sheʼd spent 12 months working non-stop to make voting easy and safe for everyone.

The whole situation felt like a weird mix-up: here was someone whoʼd put in countless hours to run fair elections (and make them accessible to all citizens) learning that her work might help someone who didnt share her basic ideas about democracy
