US President-elect Donald Trump has added 16 more electoral votes to his tally with authorities in Michigan certifying that he has won the state, nearly three weeks after the presidential poll. The Michigan Board of State Canvassers, with a 4-0 vote, yesterday certified Republican nominee Trump’s 10,704-vote victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November 8 election. 70-year-old Trump’s win in Michigan gave him all the 16 electoral votes and took his tally to 306 compared to Clinton’s 232. “Jill Stein will be filing a petition with this board for a manual recount of the votes cast for president in Michigan. Chris Thomas, the director of elections for the state, noted that Stein received only 51,643 votes or 1.07% of Michigan’s total votes in the presidential race.
