• All 13 seats in the United States House of Representatives are up for grabs. Four should be competitive
• Close races are expected in districts representing Macomb County, Flint, Lansing and Grand Rapids.
• A handful of races could have the power to determine the balance of power in Congress

LANSING — Polls are closed in Michigan, and among many competitive races, voters will decide 13 races for the U.S. House of Representatives, including a handful that could tip the balance of power in the House.

Democrats lead Michigan’s congressional delegation with seven seats, compared to Republicans’ six, although expected retirements and candidates for even higher office have brought twists and turns to the situation.

At 8:55 p.m., the Associated Press called the 11th District race centered in Oakland County for incumbent Haley Stevens who was leading Republican Nick Somberg by a healthy margin.

While every congressional seat is important in Michigan, four stand out above the rest and are expected to be close, hyper-competitive races. Results in these districts are still pending, with polling stations remaining open until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

While waiting for these results, here is where these races currently stand.
