Turnout on Election Day becomes the big key in the race for the White House.
Donald Trump Jr. was back in southeast Michigan Monday afternoon for a pre-election message for supporters of his father's presidential bid.
"I thought this was supposed to be a Blue State, that's what I keep hearing," Trump said while speaking to the group that jammed around him at Rub BBQ Pub in Detroit Monday afternoon.
"I know Hillary's coming back so it means she's a little bit worried and I think we're going to do this," Trump said. "You know why," he continued, "because this message from day one has been one of change."
Meantime, across town, volunteers are working hard to make sure a Democrat stays in the nation's highest elective office.
"If we have to pick her up and carry her to the White House, she's going to get there," said Yvonne Rucker, a volunteer with the Hillary Clinton campaign.
The Democrats' ground effort included canvassing on Roselawn near 8 Mile and many other Detroit neighborhoods. Volunteers knocked on doors and passed out voting information.
"People are actually doing walk-ins wanting to volunteer, so yes, there's that tangible excitement out there," Rucker told Action News.
The Justice Department today Monday its Civil Rights Division will monitor polls in 28 states and 67 different jurisdictions on Election Day, including Detroit, Hamtramck and Dearborn Heights.
Those monitors will be watching for compliance with federal voting rights laws.
Also this weekend, American Muslims in eight states were questioned by the FBI. Agents were seeking information on possible pre-election al-Qaeda terrorism threats, according to civil rights groups.
Local officials tell Action News they are not aware of that activity taking place in Metro Detroit.
