More than 18,000 people had registered to vote by 6 p.m. on Election Day in the battleground state of Michigan, hours after President Donald Trump told a campaign rally that he is confident he’ll win the state for a second time.

By 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 3, 12,530 people had participated in Michigan’s same-day voter registration program, the Michigan Secretary of State’s office said. About 13,000 people voted during the presidential primaries in March.
