The 2016 United States presidential election in Michigan was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participate. Michigan voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote.
On March 8, 2016, in the presidential primaries, voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, and Republican parties' respective nominees for President. Michigan does not require voters to register with a party to vote in the primaries, allowing voters to select a candidate in either party, however voters only selected one candidate overall.
On November 8, 2016, the U.S Presidential election was held. On November 24, 2016, Donald Trump was declared the winner by the Detroit Free Press in the slimmest margin of victory in the state's history. The votes were certified by each county and submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State.
On Monday, November 28, 2016, the Michigan Board of Canvassers certified the result of the election in favor of Donald Trump by a margin of 10,704 votes, a 0.23% margin of victory. On this same day, Jill Stein requested a second hand recount in Michigan, which was the third time the votes would be counted. The deadline to request a recount was then set at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30. However, the second recount was halted on December 8 after a federal judge issued an order to Michigan's Board of Elections, making Trump's win in the state official. He was the first Republican to carry the state of Michigan since 1988.
