184. The 9 percent are definitely strong for Nancy
The only 28 precincts in the entire state not yet being reported are in Pontiac, a heavily African American city where Nancy campaigned her heart out. She has a huge following there. From what I have heard, however, they only had a 30 percent turnout -- 11,000 for Nancy and 2,000 for Joe. This is in contrast to most of the rest of the district where over 60 percent was very common in most cities.

It's still a mystery why these results have not been reported. It's also a bit fishy that they had 11,000 votes registered at 4 pm and 13,000 when the polls closed. Voter suppression is common in Pontiac and they had problems yesterday. I have heard that people were still voting at 10 p.m.
