Internet reports that Michigan officials are optimistic about Tuesday's election results and expect preliminary results to be released by noon on Wednesday at the latest. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson pointed out that the new rules allow election workers to begin processing absentee ballots on October 28, making voting counting more efficient. "We are in an excellent position to deal with late ballots," Benson said. This is the first time Michigan has allowed pre-processing of absentee ballots in a statewide election. Although former President Trump hopes to see Michigan's results on Election Day night, one Trump supporter said she does not expect to hear the results that night and said she is not worried. "I know it won't happen, and I won't stay up late and wait."
