Sorry to have to tell you this, it is the official State website, but it's always off by hours or days. Look at the numbers. Both candidates have well over 2 million votes now. This site is useless until after the election. It's always way behind even though it claims to update every 10 minutes. It drove us nuts trying to get recount data in 2016 until we figured it out.
Just to clarify, even though the "Updated" date reads 11/04/2020 the results we're seeing are days behind? Again, just want to make sure. I just went to the sight to verify it was legit, and it appears to be.
Hours or days, it is the official site, but it's slow to report. Always. You cannot use it to make assumptions about the current count. It's that simple.
Oh wow, well I'm glad to hear this actually! :D One less obvious case of people playing silly bastards with our right to vote. Thanks for the insight fellow pede! I'm going to pull this post so as not to misrepresent the state of things.
This is days behind. Delete these posts
Will do, just making sure with another commenter before deleting. Thanks!
The MI website is .gov instead of .us, right? Is this actually real?
It redirects you to the actual site. I verified. Here's the fully resolved URL:
