LANSING, Mich. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has won Michigan’s 16 electoral votes.
The Board of State Canvassers certified Trump’s 10,704-vote victory on Monday, nearly three weeks after the election. The two-tenths of a percentage point margin out of nearly 4.8 million votes is the closest presidential race in Michigan in more than 75 years.
Trump’s win in Michigan gives the Republican 306 electoral votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232.
Trump is the first Republican presidential nominee to win Michigan since 1988.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein is expected to ask for a recount. She has until Wednesday. Trump would have seven days to file objections to her request.

Careful what you wish for Michigan.
Trump: Millions voted illegally. Therefore, I maintain that there is no reason for a recount in Michigan. head asplode
Well. I won’t bother to limit myself to UAW made American cars anymore. It won’t make any difference, but will release me from wanting to do my bit to help US industries and union workers. If they don’t care about their well-being (Macomb Co.) why should anyone else? It is kind of liberating. Anyone recommend a decent AWD crossover vehicle?
The number of people who left the POTUS bubble blank in Mich is double that of 2012. So either there was a significant number of undervotes, or an enormous number of people couldn’t give a damn and thought, y’know, HRC was too shrill or something, so, y’know, f**k everything.
Wait! can he count to seven?
