Wow -- 20 points !!
Republican county commissioner has been unseated in Michigan after losing to her Democratic challenger by 20 percentage points in a recall vote.
Chris Kleinjans won an Ottawa County election on Tuesday with 60 percent of the vote share, while the Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel lost, having gained 40 percent.
The county election comes as Michigan is a key battleground state in November's presidential election. Former President Donald Trump won the county with 61 percent of the vote in 2020. He also narrowly won the state in 2016 before losing it to President Joe Biden in 2020.
Newsweek contacted the Michigan Republican Party by email outside of normal business hours to comment on this story and will update if there is a reply.

Michigan Republican unseated after losing to Democrat by 20 points
The ousted Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel had previously described Ottawa County as "very conservative."
