       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, November 6, 
     2012, to fill the existing vacancy for Representative in 
     Congress from the Eleventh Congressional District of 
     Michigan, show that David Curson received 159,267 or 48.39% 
     of the total number of votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that David 
     Curson was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Eleventh Congressional District of Michigan.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all counties involved, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
       A full listing of the unofficial results for each candidate 
     is attached for your information.
           Sincerely,
                                            Christopher M. Thomas,
