Kent County is owned by the DeVoss family, you know, AmWay, Black Water, etc. It is also the headquarters of the Dutch Reformed Church which even the Dutch wouldn't embrace these days. They are Calvanists which means that belief alone (or anything else) won't save your sorry ass from hell if you are not predestined for heaven. And only a select few get that distinction. Good luck! And vote for the Republican of your choice! Ahhh! Ted Cruz CHOOOO!

West Michigan is very, very strange politically.

Lived there a few years. Never met another Democrat. I did hear a lot about what NAFTA had done there. Probably much crossover voters there wanting Bernie to oppose Trump, as he'd be easier to defeat.

and Hillary inched a little closer! Under 20,000?

16 more precincts and statewide review of results?

You know the Clinton campaign is going to be looking hard at this, asking how and why?

It's a wash.

Flint definitely didn't come through on turnout. Don't know if I can blame them, government has failed them for a generation.

I hope Hillary and company will continue to help them!

14. I wonder why Kasich got so many votes in Michigan

still did not win but close to 2nd w Cruz. Compared to other States Kasich did very well in Michigan. Could it be related to Democrat side voting in Repub side b/c thinking HRC was gonna win anyway!? Does that make sense? http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results
