GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan is now the focal point of the presidential election, with voters going to the polls in just one day.

Monday, President Obama is in Ann Arbor campaigning for Hillary Clinton. Clinton herself will be at Grand Valley State University in Allendale at 4:00pm.  Doors open at 2 p.m., and the event begins at 4 p.m. People wishing to attend can register here.

And Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence will be holding a late night rally at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids at 11:00pm.   You can find info and RSVP to the event here. Trump's daughters Ivanka and Tiffany held a meeting with small business owners in Hudsonville Monday morning as well.

Real Clear Politics now considers Michigan a toss-up state based on statewide polling averages showing a tightening race between Clinton and Trump, meaning the state’s 16 electoral votes are up for grabs. In all, 158 electoral votes are up for grabs in toss-up states, as tallied by Real Clear Politics.
