About This State

Michigan! You’re one of the states that will decide who gets to be president. You also have an extremely important Senate race this year, and you're shaped like a mitten. The trifecta! All important reasons to get to the polls in one of the many great cars you're known to produce. Here's all the info you need to vote this year.

Why Is This State Special

Michigan is the battleground state that Trump won by only 11,612 votes, the smallest margin in 2016. After the 2016 loss, organizers stepped up their efforts, delivering significant 2018 victories, like winning the governorship and seven other Republican seats. This strong organizing work positions Michigan as one of the strongest opportunities to flip a state for Democrats in 2020.
