DETROIT – Halloween tomorrow means nine days until election day. But that’s not to say the voting begins on Nov. 8, it is already underway, and the absentee returns have been massive. We seem to be on the verge of a historic turnout for a midterm. Today talked about what that means for the election and also for election night -- which could well spill over into the following day.
We discussed the final debate in the race for governor this past Tuesday night. I’m curious -- do you know anyone who just doesn’t know whether to vote for Gretchen Whitmer or Tudor Dixon? Is it possible that you’re undecided? Because the delineations are pretty clear. It’s hard to find any areas of agreement between the two. We’ll discuss the debate performances and point our way toward election day.

Rochelle detects way too much negativity out of step with a strong Detroit moment.
