How Michigan voted
In 2016, Donald Trump won Michigan with 48 percent of the vote, according to NBC News results, edging out Hillary Clinton by 1 percentage point. Trump won by less than 12,000 votes four years ago, and his victory marked the first time the state went red in a general election since 1988. Michigan’s 16 electoral votes were critical to Trump’s Electoral College victory, and the state is an equally important battleground in 2020 as polls see Democratic nominee Joe Biden leading.

The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials. The figure can change as NBC News gathers new information.
