Michigan wasn't officially called for Trump until two weeks after the polls closed. The state was one of three targeted for a recount by Green Party nominee Jill Stein, purportedly because the election had been meddled with. However, given that Michigan uses optical scan ballots, the chances of this happening were effectively none.

Trump is the first Republican to win Michigan since 1988.
