Michigan: El-Sayed runs behind Benson in Oakland County, and trails on absentee ballots in some heavily Jewish precincts, according to @umichvoter

ATTRIBUTED CLAIMS

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is running behind Democratic governor nominee Jocelyn Benson in Oakland County. With about a third of the county counted, Benson has 61.3% and El-Sayed has 57.4% (AP via NYT live results, 8:26 PM ET).

According to election analyst @umichvoter, El-Sayed is losing absentee ballots by 5 to 10 points in some heavily Jewish precincts in West Bloomfield and Bloomfield Township. That precinct-level read is his and has not been independently verified.

Statewide, with about 6% counted, El-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers 58.2% to 40.2%. The race has not been called.
