Voters chose 20 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Michigan was won by the Republican Party candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower with 56% of the popular vote, winning the state's twenty electoral votes.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=26&year=1956 Presidential General Election Results - Michigan June 22, 2017 However, this result made Michigan almost 4% more Democratic than the nation-at-large, the first time since 1864 that the state voted to the left of the national result, which was the only prior time Michigan had done so since the founding of the Republican Party in 1854. Eisenhower would be the last Republican to win Michigan without carrying suburban Macomb County, which he previously won in 1952, but lost to Stevenson in this election. He became the first ever Republican to win the White House without carrying Alger County, as well as the first to do so without carrying Macomb County since Benjamin Harrison in 1888. This was the last time Michigan voted for a Republican presidential candidate until Eisenhower's vice president, Richard Nixon, won the state in his re-election bid in 1972.
