'''Michigan''' is the twenty-sixth state to enter into the union, on Jan. 26, 1837. It is known for its interesting geographical location, bordering four of the five [[Great Lakes]] (it does not border Lake Ontario). It also comprises two parts connected by a bridge, the [[conservative]] Upper Peninsula (known as the U.P., with its residents known as "Yoopers") and the Lower Peninsula (which is by far the larger of the two). Michigan's capital is [[Lansing]], and its largest city is [[Detroit]].  Michigan is part of the [[Midwest]] that is shifting [[Republican]] in response to [[Leftist]] policies against traditional [[energy]], their push for government-subsidized, job-destroying [[electric vehicles]], and their war on Midwestern values.

Though traditionally controlled by [[Democrat]]s, with disastrous [[economic]] results, Michigan stunned the [[liberal media]] by voting for [[Donald Trump]] for president in 2016.  In the final days of the campaign Democrat leaders rushed to Michigan to try unsuccessfully to keep it from switching to the [[Republican]] side. With changes to open elections to fraud-prone mail-in balloting, Michigan elected a Democratic Governor in 2018 and then voted for Biden in 2020 by a reported 150,000 voters, many from [[ballot harvesting]] or by [[dropbox Dems|drop-box Dem]]s.
