Under Michigan law, all of Wayne County's records now have to be remanded to the Michigan Elections Commission who must decide by November 27 whether or not to certify them.

Currently, the Michigan Legislature has 80 Republican members and 68 Democratic members. The two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes in the unofficial results are Donald J. Trump and Joseph Robinette Biden III.
