Adam Alharbi wins Hamtramck’s mayoral race by 6 votes

Adam Alharbi has been declared the winner of Hamtramck's mayoral race, narrowly defeating city councilman Muhith Mahmood by six votes, with final totals showing 2,066 votes for Alharbi and 2,060 for Mahmood. The election's outcome was delayed due to issues with 150 absentee ballots needing signature corrections and the discovery of 37 uncounted ballots in the city clerk's office, leading to the clerk being placed on leave. Alharbi also filed a lawsuit challenging Mahmood's eligibility, and Mahmood has the option to request a recount. The situation is evolving, with a special city council meeting scheduled to discuss further details.
