The 2016 United States presidential election in Wisconsin took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participate. Wisconsin voters also chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote.
On April 5, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Wisconsin voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for president: Bernie Sanders (D) and Ted Cruz (R) in an open primary with registered members of those parties voting in either's primary, while unaffiliated voters were allowed to choose to vote in any one.
Donald Trump won Wisconsin by a narrow margin of 47.2% to 46.5% for Hillary Clinton, thanks to overwhelming and underestimated support from white working class voters which the Democrats had previously had an advantage with, making him the first Republican candidate to carry the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984. On November 25, an irregularity was discovered by officials in Outagamie County, that resulted in the pre-official vote totals being reported incorrectly. This irregularity was due to a calculator error. It was corrected in the official vote totals. Following a statewide recount requested by Jill Stein's campaign, Trump was certified to have won Wisconsin by a narrow margin — 1,405,284 votes to Clinton's 1,382,536.
