BELLAIRE, Mich. — A small county in northern Michigan that typically supports Republican presidential candidates is counting ballots by hand. Antrim County says “skewed results” initially gave Joe Biden a local landslide. 

Jeremy Scott, deputy administrator in Antrim County, says new results are expected Thursday.

The Associated Press has called Michigan for Biden as well as Democratic U.S. Sen. Gary Peters in his race.
