The Results Are In And The Ballots Are Saying... Ever since Donald Trump took the presidency, liberals have been challenging the election system, demanding that Hillary Clinton still be made the president. They have even called for a recount of votesafter relentless criticism of Trump for calling the system rigged. Since Michigan had not yet been called for Trump, liberals were harboring hope that he would lose the state, which would have made it difficult for him to earn enough electoral votes to secure the presidency. On Wednesday, the Michigan Secretary of State posted the results that were submitted by the states 83 county clerks after the votes were reviewed and certified by each county. Before compiling the count, Trump held a 13,107 lead over Clinton. After each county certified results, the lead shrunk to 10,704. Trump is the first Republican candidate to win Michigan since 1988. The states Board of Canvassers will officially certify the results on November 28. The Electoral College in all states, including Michigans 16 electors, will cast their votes on Dec. 19. In total across the nation, Trump won 306 electoral votes, compared to 232 for Clinton. Clinton still holds a lead of more than 2 million votes in the popular vote.
