Any chance that Michigan could still go to HRC?

[book_worm]

The AP still hasn't called it and there is only 11,000 vote difference between Trump and Clinton. I wonder why the wait? They did call New Hampshire for HRC and she took that state by something like 1500 votes. Are there still votes in MI to be counted?

1. There must be.

It would be nice if she took it. In the meantime, it also would have been nice if turnout hadn't been down in Detroit. Do they think Donald cares a shit about them?

2. Turnout was also down in Milwaukee, WI, but some of the blame for that is Walker's

voter restriction program targeted at minorities and students.

4. Interstate Crosscheck system may have been a factor

It's being used as a way to disenfranchise voters, primarily the democratic base. Michigan is a participant, along with 26 other states. See the map on this page: https://www.healthofstatedemocracies.org/factors/intercross.html

3. I believe MI counts absentee ballots last.

I sent my absentee ballot weeks ago.

But this close, it could take some time. I am a bit surprised, though. Still, much of MI is very rural.

5. There are no votes left to be counted.

The AP is waiting to see if anyone asks for a recount.

The Associated Press (AP) news agency says it will not declare an outcome in the Midwestern state while a recount remains possible.

The Trump campaign had until Monday to seek a recount in New Hampshire, but did not do so.
So AP called the result for Mrs Clinton by about 2,700 votes, less than 1% of the 732,000 ballots cast.

Michigan's unofficial results show Mr Trump winning by over 13,000 votes.
AP, which gathers voting data from state and local officials, said it would soon declare a result if neither campaign called for a recount.
