Scot Bertram, The race for the Michigan state House

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — The Justice Department wants a federal court to force Google to sell off its popular Chrome web browser as part of an antitrust case.  The request made Wednesday comes after a court ruled that the company holds a monopoly in the online search market.  Department lawyers say that spinning off Chrome, used on billions of devices around the world, would help prevent an illegal monopoly from happening again.  

Two ---- A Florida man is under arrest for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange.  Court documents say Harun Abdul-Malik Yener of Coral Springs wanted to "reset" the U.S. government.  He was arrested Wednesday and charged with attempting to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce.    

 

 

And number three — The race for the Michigan state House between incumbent Democrat Jim Haadsma and Republican challenger Steve Frisbie might get a recount.  Frisbie won the election, but by just 61 votes as of yesterday.  Haadsma's attorney Chris Trebilcock says a recount could be requested after the State Board of Canvassers certifies the state's vote count, which needs to be done by Monday.
