It took nearly 16 hours to determine but Michigan is officially with Donald Trump.
Trump has won a hard fought battle for Michigan’s 16 electoral votes.
Just after 11:20 a.m. Wednesday, Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson released the final popular vote totals.
In the presidential race Donald Trump received 2,277,586 votes to Hillary Clinton’s 2,264,361.
Trump recorded a razor-thin margin in the 83 county total: 47.60 percent to Clinton’s 47.33 percent.
It’s a key win that few saw coming in Trump’s quest for the 270 votes that could make him the next president of the United States.

I probably added wrong. :-)
Justice department to not only endorse, but require picture ID and paper ballots in all federal elections."
Indeed!
No more rigged elections in the US of A!
As I said before the election, Trump ambushed her in Michigan.
Made a strong push late. She had little time to react, and the vaunted ground game to round up every shiftless Dem voter dead or alive in the urban areas was caught off guard.
Unpredictable!
When the states are called, the vote numbers get tallied in...when the final numbers for Arizona get tallied in, we may just find out that Trump got the popular vote as well. That’s why they may be holding on the final numbers....there are the territorial popular votes to come in as well!
There may be an attempt to cause a little fuss with the EC vs popular vote as a means of determining elections....not that it will go anywhere without a constitutional change. The EC was genius, not an anachronism! It keeps the bigger populated states in terms of influence from bullying the smaller states! The use of the total numbers of congressmen and senators as a means of assigning power to electors in electing the president was also genius. Whether the bellyachers like it or not....parceling out electors equally based on population numbers represented by congressional districts with 2 added per state(for the senators) really does lateralize power fairly across the US. I do suspect massive fraud as the proportions of congressmen elected per party don’t match the popular vote numbers per presidential candidate(hence the huge sea of red seen on the maps related to congressional districts won by republican congress men as well as 3 republican governorships)...then many might not have liked trump or Hillary so they voted split ballots.
Love living in a red state!!!
When the votes are made official...the popular votes get tallied in...at last count Arizona had 190 thousand potential votes outstanding...so these would bump up the popular vote counts for Trump, hence he might well win the popular vote and the EC, thus the controversies being manufactured about the EC being wrong for the country would die away. It’s my guess....the numbers are being held back more for emotional reasons related to the Democrats losses!
(”Why pile on after all...Trump won”...they might be thinking, “we can just sneak the other numbers in later when the records are made official. In the mean time lets start a nasty fight over the EC!”)
Trump won this election more easily than is being seen in the results. Rampant Democrat cheating in Detroit, Philly and Broward County was repeated all over the country. I know there’s no way to ever get the true number, but you can bet that millions of people who voted for Trump had their votes stolen, changed, invalidated and thrown out by Dems all over the country.
When you subtract all the voter fraud, TRUMP wins the popular vote!
Thank you, The Truth Will Make You Free.
Yup!
It’s about freaking time!
Let's not forget those great folks from Pennsylvania!
If Michigan matter, the Donks would have won.
They didn’t get as far as they have by relying on things live voting returns.
So Trump wins, even without Pennsylvania. Remarkable.
It had exactly the right call early on when FL looked kind of bleak. I was looking at the gizmo thinking "what in world is that thing seeing that we're not allowed to see". Amazing.
CNN is refusing to turn Michigan to red on their graphic at the bottom of the screen.
And many thanks to the great people of Pennsylvania! We are so blessed with the good people of our country.
Took me all day, but I finally got it :)
