Interesting trend in Detroit Mayoral vote counting. With 67% of vote counted, Sheffield has more votes (30,791) than the entirety of the rest of the field (27,905).

I’ve had this cartoon from legendary Detroit newspaper illustrator Guindon for about a decade; he drew it in 1989 after the @freep and @detnews JOA was approved.

Wonder what he’d say now that the marriage is ending… lol
