UNDATED –
It appears Republican candidate Rick Snyder will be the next governor of Michigan. Media outlets are used early returns and exit polls to call the race for Snyder shortly after the polls closed.
The GOP candidate for lieutenant governor, state representative Brian Calley, says it also looks like the Republican ticket has won.
"From Calumet to Niles to right here in Detroit, this clear, positive, forward-looking vision for Michigan has won out over the politics of the past and the fights of yesterday," Calley says.
Calley's job in the Snyder administration would be to work as the governor's liaison to the Legislature.
There's no word of a concession from the campaign of Democratic nominee Virg Bernero.
