In the closest race for president in Michigan’s history, Republican Donald Trump is hanging on to a 10,704-vote win over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
During the tight presidential race in Michigan on election night, it has finally been reveaed that Trump won the state with almost 11k more that Hillary.
Results were revealed on Wednesday after the votes had been recounted within every county.
Before this count, Trump had a 13, 107 vote lead over Hillary, but even after the votes were recertified in each county, Trump still held a 10, 704 vote lead.
Wisconsin’s Board of Canvassers will finally seal the results on November 28. The electoral college votes in all states, including Michigan’s 16 elecotarates, will cast their ballots on December 19.
“Many people have asked about Michigan’s process for counting ballots and certifying election results. Please be aware that all 1,521 Michigan cities and townships completed ballot counting and reported unofficial results by the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 9,” according to a statement on the Secretary of State’s website. “The county canvassing boards, as they do after every election, then began their work to review and certify the results from each precinct.”
Throuhout the country, Trump ednded up winning 306 electoral votes, and Hillary won 232. However, Hillary has an impressive 2 million vote lead in the popular vote. Donald Trump is the only GOP who has won the state of Michigan from 1988 onwards.
The estimated numbers that will be given over to the state Canvassers Board on November 28 are:
Ok, that’s funny
so even though MI did a recount already, Jill may waste money and ask for another?
Had Stein not run, they would simply have voted for some other loon, stayed home, or left the ballot blank.
Those who don't vote major party are making a statement, which would have remained valid in their minds even if Stein per se had not been the choice.

Is this “recount” actually the initial count — measure twice, cut once?
what’s the real news?
“I read thru so many threads, so many posts, and it is clear, Megyn Kelly is our next president”
Hey, I’d put my ballot in her box anytime.
“Megyn Kelly is our next president”
I’ll wake her up, take off the chains and ball gag, and let her know. Then tie her back up!
looks like they only have to recount the votes 4 or 5 more times and the Witch will be the winner.
“Hillary has an impressive 2 million vote lead in the popular vote”
This means exactly NOTHING!
National popular vote means nothing when it comes to national/Presidential politics.
At that level the only thing that counts is Electoral College votes. It has been that wat since 1780 and everyone who has received a decent real education in American History and Politics know this no matter how loudly the Democrats and the MSM (there I go again repeating myself) yell otherwise.
While digging up who Cherunda Fox is, I came across this great piece from back in March, 2015. It’s a hoot.
“Donald Trump promises to become as serious a 2016 candidate as Cherunda Lynn Fox”

Click the state, and you will see the individual state vote count

So if already has been counted twice why do it a 3rd time Jill?
You fill in your ballot and it is put in the optical scanner (which is locked BTW). The electronic count is sent in that night as soon as the polls close. The ballots of people who voted in person are not recounted.
They are matched to make sure the number of ballots in the machine match the number they show should have been cast.
They then count the provisional ballots, absentee ballots, which must be at the clerks office by 8pm election day and checked against the signature on file, account for the spoiled ballots and the unused ballots.
This can change the count a bit, especially the provisional and absentee ballots. I had to vote provisional one year as I moved the day before the election. They checked to make sure I had not voted under my old address as well as my new one and that my new address was valid.
When all of that is done then everything is sealed up and the vote is final.
I don’t think you can assume that a majority of Stein votes would’ve gone to hillary. Logic is that most people who didn’t vote for hillary had decided that they didn’t care if she won or not, but couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Trump.
One of my good friends who is a fairly big name in the GOP wrote in Tom Izzo for one local office against a RINO. The RINO was unopposed in the general election, although challenged in the primary. It didn't count because Coach Izzo didn't file for office.
In which Counties did the 2500 “finds” occur?
Thanks for the details. It’s good to understand the process.
So where does the “recount” mentioned in the article factor?
