Incumbent University of Michigan regents retain their seats

By David Jesse

The two Republican incumbents fended off challenges to retain their seats on the University of Michigan Board of Regents.

Andrea Fischer Newman was the top vote-getter with 1,095,991. Andrew Richner garnered 1,038,439.

The nearest challenger was Democrat Paul Brown, who has 777,803 votes. Fellow Democrat Greg Stephens, who lost in 2002 by eight votes, received 729,897 votes.

Regents are elected to eight-year terms.

Please please watch for typos. Your reporting all comes into question when you do not proof read. Like Salinemary I am confused by your reporting that both Mr. Richner and Mr. Stevens received the same number of votes. If Ann Arbor.com is going to be taken seriously, you have to do a better job.

The facts seem wrong in this article. Mr. Richner and Mr. Stephens each received 1,038,439 votes?
