County results: Trump set to win Michigan

Donald Trump is poised to win the state of Michigan after a razor-thin race, according to still-unofficial numbers released by the Michigan secretary of State Wednesday. 

{mosads}Each of Michigan’s 83 counties certified their vote tallies and submitted them to the secretary of State, showing Trump with a lead of about 10,700 total votes over Hillary Clinton, Reuters reported.

The vote totals, which still need to be approved by the Board of State Canvassers on Nov. 28, show Trump received 2,279,543 votes to Clinton’s 2,268,839. 

Libertarian Gary Johnson received 172,136 votes, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein earned 51,463 votes, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Michigan carries 16 electoral votes. A win for Clinton there wouldn’t have changed the outcome — she currently has 232 electoral votes to Trump’s 306. 

The state hasn’t voted for a Republican for president since 1988, and Clinton was polling at an average of more than 3 points ahead of Trump before Election Day. A sign of growing concerns the race there would be tighter than expected, Clinton did a campaign blitz in the state in the race’s final days, and President Obama held a rally there the day before the election.

Clinton is leading in the popular vote nationwide by more than 2 million.
