Despite high voter turnout for the elections Tuesday, Genesee County did not break its record of 74 percent from four years ago, according to WBTA's Dan Fischer. Seventy-one percent of registered voters made it out to the polls in this county.
Newly-elected state Sen. Mike Ranzenhofer told Fischer that the voters of Genesee County gave him the edge to beat Democrat Joe Mesi and take over the seat in the 61st District that will be vacated when Sen. Mary Lou Rath retires at the end of her term.
