What was the final tally..how close is it ?

From http://www.clickondetroit.com/politics/5282644/detail.html:

"With 100 percent reporting, Kilpatrick had 117,354, or 53 percent of the vote, and Hendrix had 103,446 votes, or 47 percent. The change was reported after Hendrix showed a 10-point lead in early counting."

What was the final tally..how close is it ?

With 130% of the total votes reporting, Kilpatrick had 117,354 or 68 per cent of something, and Hendrix had 103,446 votes, or 62 per cent of something else.

The city clerk, Jackie (don't blame me) Currie could not explain why she mailed over 130,000 absentee ballots to DEAD people or those not requesting them. "If people want to vote, why not let them vote!"
