President-elect Donald Trump has won Michigan’s 16 electoral votes, official say.

The Board of State Canvassers certifies Trump’s 10,704-vote victory nearly three weeks after the election. The two-tenths of a percentage point margin out of nearly 4.8 million votes is the closest presidential race in Michigan in more than 75 years.

Trump’s win in Michigan gives the Republican 306 electoral votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232.

Trump is the first Republican presidential nominee to win Michigan since 1988.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein is expected to ask for a recount, and has until Wednesday to do so. Trump then has seven days to file objections to her request.
