Wayne County Primary results delayed by 3G modem issue

Election officials experienced a significant delay with unofficial Primary results on Tuesday due to a 3G computer modem issue, according to the Wayne County Clerk's website.

"Based on the recommendation of the Voluntary Voting Systems Guideline 2.0 issued by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, coupled with AT&T's decision in March 2022 to no longer support 3G modems, 65 out of 83 Counties in Michigan are no longer modeming unofficial election results," the statement said.

By 12:45 a.m. Wayne County had 228 of 918 precincts reporting, reflecting the delay. 

The statement said there is not a definitive time of when 100% reporting will be reached but officials say they will be working into the morning to process results. 

By Wednesday morning, all results had been counted and reported.

Many of the larger races had been decided, but a few big ones remained outstanding including the 13th District Congressional Primary, which Shri Thanedar wound up winning.
