Additionally, errors in another county were reported. Biden's massive increase in Michigan's poll numbers was also because Shiawassee county noted 153,710 for Biden, when their number should have been 15,371. With those numbers adjusted, Decision Desk HQ puts Biden at 49.51 percent, and Trump at 48.93 percent. Still a very close race.
