In the November 2024 election, Frisbie defeated incumbent Representative Jim Haadsma, a Democrat. The Associated Press projected Frisbie as the winner on Election Night (when he was up by some 1,400 votes), but the Calhoun County clerk subsequently found that a computer glitch in Battle Creek overrode 2,800 ballots, causing them not to be counted.<Ref>Jim Measel, Computer glitch narrows Frisbie lead in 44th State House race, WTVB (November 9, 2024).</ref> The tabulation of those votes diminished Frisbie's margin to 58 votes. Frisbie sued in a bid to block tabulation of absentee ballots. A court dismissed Frisbie's suit, and the ballots were counted. Following the county canvass, Frisbie's lead extended to 61 votes.<Ref>Paul Egan, County canvass widens gap in Battle Creek state House race to 61 votes, up from 58, Detroit Free Press (November 20, 2024).</ref> In the subsequent hand recount of all votes, Frisbie ultimately won by a very tight margin: 79 votes.
