This piece isn’t intended to prove President Trump won Michigan in his reelection campaign of 2020.  I’ve already written that treatise, and my thorough scraping of all 83 counties in the Great Lakes State suggests Trump’s margin of victory would have settled around 8.5% in a fair election, which happens to jive with the trends in the state since Obama’s high point in 2008.

Blatant cheating, such as shutting out Republican observers at the TCF Center on Election Night 2020, is not all that makes the 2020 election suspect.  Michigan is losing population relative to the rest of the nation, growing by just 193,691 residents in the 2010s according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which is doing all it can to prop up so-called blue states and restrict the expansion of red ones.
