The push to include 37 uncounted ballots in the Hamtramck mayoral race has made its way to the Michigan Supreme Court.

A special election to fill the vacancy in the Michigan Senate's competitive 35th District could sway the power dynamic in Lansing.

The ruling affirms Adam Alharbi’s controversial and narrow victory in the race for mayor of Hamtramck but the legal wrangling may be far from over.

Election lawyers from both sides of the political spectrum said Monday that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson correctly declined to issue a declarative ruling on whether the major party’s endorsement conventions were constitutional.
