County map with statewide party vote totals:

I'm surprised Saginaw cast more R than D votes, unless the difference was very tiny.

That looks like a good prediction for the general (except for Saginaw County). If anything, it might overstate Schuette's strength slightly, as I don't think Schuette has a lock on Brian Calley voters.

It was.

R: 21,824
D: 20,737

Hats off to Leelanau county, which continued its swing from 2012->2016, and now had more D votes when it went marginally for Trump in 2016.

Interesting. Leelenau stands almost alone in MI as a county that trended D in 2016, as compared with the US as a while.

It, and Livingston County, are the only two counties in which the percentage of people who are "struggling" is less than 30%:

I'll bet the percentage of college graduates is high in Leelenau. I've visited once.
