Looks like this is probably part of the answer

It’s literally how OSU fans say it themselves even. Their main chant is O-H I-O, and they sing this anytime they meet someone from Michigan

8 out of 10 precincts in the City of Midland went for Abdul (who also won the city overall), add it to the people’s republic of Kent County
And notable insight on how the state’s labor unions have reacted and are looking to use their political energy:
“When we took back the trifecta for the first time in 40 years, it was great that the party in charge shifted, but the reality is that the largest corporations in the state still were the ones who were setting the agenda at the governing table,” a union official added.
Michigan Democratic primary candidate for US senate Abdul El-Sayed speaking at an event last night: “When people say, ‘we don’t know if he’s electable,’ it seems like they’re talking about me, about my name, about my faith, but that’s actually not what they’re talking about…You know who they’re talking about?”
“They’re talking about all of us, all of you, all the people in the state, and what bothers me about that is not the comment that they’re making about me, it’s the comment that they’re making about the 10 million open-minded, big hearted people in this state.”
“…The experience of being an Arab and Muslim in Michigan is the experience of consistently watching as your state uplifts and empowers and embraces you, that’s been my experience. And so I get real pissed off when they so ‘you’re unelecteable because your name is Abdul’, because for me, I push back and say ‘You don’t know Michigan like I know Michigan. You don’t know Michiganders like I know Michiganders.’”
