Year of entry into union: 1837
Capital: Lansing
Total electors: Sixteen.
In 2016, the 16 Michigan electors pledged to vote for Donald Trump for president and Mike Pence for vice-president.
How Michigan votes: Swing state. In 2016, Michigan voted Republican, but in the six presidential elections prior to that, the state voted for the Democratic nominees.
Demographic breakdown: 78.9 percent White and 14.2 percent African-American.
Fun fact: Michigan is likely to swing back to the Democrats in the 2020 elections if one goes by the latest opinion poll figures, which give Joe Biden an edge over Trump.
