A Republican from Michigan won reelection after officials corrected a glitch in the counting system that turned out in his favor, with over 1,000 votes added for the incumbent.

Oakland County Commissioner Adam Kochenderfer represents the City of Rochester and a portion of the City of Rochester Hills. After Tuesday’s election, he thought he had lost his seat by 104 votes against Democratic opponent Dr. Melanie Hartman.
