Michigan Secretary of State unveils new vote data tool
(CBS DETROIT) – Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson unveiled a new tool that will allow voters to see more information about absentee and early voting totals.
Since 2020, the Michigan Secretary of State has been releasing information on absentee ballots, including the number mailed to voters and the number returned. But this new dashboard takes that information a step further.
“This dashboard will allow anyone to see how many Michigan citizens are casting their voting ballots ahead of election day,” said Benson.
You can see data at the county and municipality levels and compare trends from different areas of the state. For University of Michigan senior Jackson Gelbard, who is helping with the next version of this dashboard, this is a tool to help stop misinformation.
“I think eliminating the spread of misinformation and putting true information out there that people can trust is really important,” said Gelbard.
The dashboard also includes answers to questions that voters often ask. As of Tuesday, Benson reported that more than 670,000 voters had submitted their ballots ahead of the election.
“These early snapshots provide valuable information to voters, media, candidates, and elected officials about how Michigan citizens are engaging in our democracy in that particular cycle,” said Benson.
Gelbard tells CBS News Detroit this tool is another way to make elections and the voting data that comes out of them more accessible to everyone.
“To keep a democracy in our country it’s really important for young people to get out and vote and make sure your voice is heard,” he said.

Delta Air Lines shuts down hot meal service on several Detroit flights due to “food safety issue”
Delta Air Lines suspended its hot meal service on more than 200 flights out of Detroit Metropolitan Airport over the weekend because of a “food safety issue,” CBS News reported. Delta said it was notified of an issue following a routine Food and Drug Administration inspection of its Detroit meal service facility, which was promptly shut down.
“During a recent inspection at a DTW [Detroit Metro Airport] kitchen, Delta’s catering partner was notified of a food safety issue within the facility. Delta and its catering partner immediately shut down hot food production and subsequently suspended all activity from the facility,” the airline said in a statement to CBS News.
“Hot food and other onboard provisioning will be managed from other facilities,” Delta said. The airline added that “we will continue to take necessary precautions to ensure food safety.”
At this time, no illnesses have been reported by Delta employees or passengers, Delta said. Those affected by the suspended meal service were given travel vouchers or frequent flyer miles as compensation.
This isn’t the first time Delta has had issues with its in-flight meals. Back in July, passengers on a Detroit-to-Amsterdam Delta flight were served moldy chicken. Several passengers fell sick, forcing the flight to divert to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Delta was also forced to serve only pasta for several days on certain flights.
