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. | Though traditionally controlled by [[Democrat]]s, with disastrous [[economic]] results, Michigan stunned the [[liberal media]] by voting for [[Donald Trump]] for president in 2016.
