President-elect Donald Trump has won 16 electoral votes in the Michigan State of the United States.

Around three weeks after the US Presidential election, the Board of State Canvassers certified Trump’s 10,704-vote victory on Monday.

The two-tenths of a percentage point margin out of nearly 4.8 million votes is the closest presidential race in Michigan in more than 75 years.

Republican billionaire Trump's victory in Michigan gives the Republican 306 electoral votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232.

Since 1988, Trump is the first Republican presidential nominee to win Michigan.

On the other hand, Green Party candidate Jill Stein is expected to ask for a recount. She has until Wednesday. Trump would have seven days to file objections to her request.
