Daily Detroit

Michigan sets another record with COVID-19 cases.

A challenge in court that would have stopped certification of Detroit's vote count falls flat on its face because the people challenging didn't even bother to go to the orientation, so didn't know what they're talking about.

The Platform has two different developments going in. One in the city's Techtown/Midtown area, and the other in Old Redford.

The Detroit Dog Rescue is putting together their new space on the west side, complete with doggy maternity suite. Because rescues deserve the love, too.

And Shianne is putting together her annual holiday local shopping list. What are your suggestions?

By popular demand, Steve Friess from Newsweek and Hour Detroit returns for a big episode on where we're at in Metro Detroit, Michigan and somewhat nationally with the election.

There isn't evidence of voter fraud in Michigan's election so far. Especially in any sorts of numbers that make a difference. But it's an axe that seems won't stop being ground.

The Coronavirus pandemic is still here. And it's raging at levels higher than when we were locked down.

With nearly 14,000 cases since Friday and almost 130 deaths - not to mention the rising hospitalization and outbreak numbers - we need to be careful.

What's the situation, what's next, and what are some answers to listener questions? Dr. Paul Thomas from Plum Health Direct Primary Care joins us to dive in.

Our feature conversation with Ben Eisen, a Wall Street Journal reporter who has an interesting story focused on Detroit.

"A Broken Mortgage Market Strands Detroit's Black Residents," dives into the logjam that is buying a house with a loan in Detroit, its causes, and what people are doing to try and improve it.

Plus, the state crossed 200,000 COVID-19 cases and we have a slew of updates from a mask mandate idea being shot down by the incoming Speaker of the State House; U of M is going remote this winter; a new stage 3 vaccine trial happening locally and more.

And, General Motors beat expectations. But don't expect as rosy of a fourth quarter.

Today's show is a look into what we know so far around the election with Steve Friess of Newsweek and Hour Detroit.

We try to unpack it using what we know so far. Topics include:

• Polling was way off on the local level
• The race for president in Michigan was far closer than people expected
• Gary Peters and John James were in a very close Senate race
• Elissa Slotkin and Haley Stevens hold on
• Trump may lose the presidency but he's not going away
• Voter priorities are different than what many expected in a pandemic
• Recounts don't get you many votes because there isn't mass voter fraud
• The reality may be we have 8-12 more years of this divided discord in the country
