Between the lines: See our primary ballot guide to learn more about races on the ballot that will set up major general election contests in November.

What they're saying: The city of Detroit expects voter turnout of 13%-18%, with about 45,000 absentee ballots expected to be cast out of the 70,000 requested.

• Nearly 3,000 voters across the city voted at early voting sites. Nearly 12,000 turned in absentee ballots at early voting centers.

Do I need an ID? Michigan law prompts poll workers to ask voters to show ID. If you don't have one, you can still vote.

• Those without an ID can sign an affidavit attesting that they are not in possession of photo identification.

ID types you can use:

• U.S. passport
• Military photo ID
• Photo ID from an educational institution
• Tribal photo ID
• Expired Michigan driver's license or state ID
• Driver's license or state ID issued by another state
• Federal, state or local government-issued photo ID

If an emergency prevents you from getting to the polls on Election Day, Michigan allows voters to request an emergency absent voter ballot.

• Requests for an emergency ballot must be submitted before 4pm on Election Day.
• And the emergency must have happened at a time that made it impossible for you to apply for a regular absent voter ballot.

Former President Trump's false attack against Vice President Kamala Harris last week, questioning whether she can identify with more than one race, arrives at a time when the U.S. and Michigan's multiracial populations are surging.

Why it matters: Trump's comments illuminate how some Americans consistently misunderstand the complexities of people from multiple racial and ethnic backgrounds and how those identities shape their lives.

Zoom in: Michigan residents who identify as multiracial, or more than one race, accounted for 6.3% of the state's population in 2020, or nearly 640,000 people out of the state's population of more than 10 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

• Michiganders who selected two or more races jumped 176% from 2010 to 2020, according to census data.
• Our share of multiracial residents was higher than Ohio's (5.8%) but lower than that of Indiana (6.4%) and Illinois (8.9%).

Zoom out: The 2020 census found that the number of Americans who identify as multiracial grew from 9 million in 2010 to 33.8 million a decade later — a 276% jump.

• They accounted for 10.2% of the nationwide population in 2020.

The intrigue: Lansing had the highest share of residents who are Black and another race, out of any city in the country with a population of 100,000-plus people, as of 2010, according to the Lansing State Journal.

The bottom line: People who identify as multiracial are among the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population.

The historic David Stott Building downtown has a new tenant: Pophouse, a boutique interior design firm.

The big picture: The move brings another design company to Capitol Park.

• Gensler, a global architectural and design firm, signed a long-term lease last year at Bedrock's 1265 Griswold Building. OHM Advisors is also nearby.

Zoom in: Pophouse, founded in 2013 by Jennifer Gilbert, became the Stott's only commercial tenant in March.

• Built in 1929 for the Stott flour mill company, Bedrock bought the Stott in 2015 and converted it to a high-rise apartment building.
• Pophouse designed the 5,000-square-foot, second-floor office with collaboration, socialization and even relaxation in mind.

State of play: The company's current clients include Roland Berger's new downtown Detroit office and the Jackson restaurant in Rochester Hills.

What they're saying: President Jennifer Janus said one of the company's challenges is informing others that Pophouse is not captive to the Rock Family of Companies to which it belongs.

• "We earn our projects. Even within the family of companies, it's not just given to us. At this point in the lifecycle of our business, we are really operating as an independent company."
