Is this possible?

Just got back and turned on the news and I heard them say that that in MI Barack Obama received no votes.  Hillary got votes but Barack did not.  I understand that Obama's name was not on the ticket but hers was.  I still don't understand why that was.  I saw something that said Obama took his name off the balot - not sure about that.  If you are trying to win an election why would you take your name off a balot and let your oponent keep theirs on, oh well.  Well what I heard tonight was he didn't get any votes - not even one.  Am I to understand that not one single person in MI voted for him?  Seems like such a big state and the chances that not even one citizen in the whole state would vote for him - well that's quite astronimical.  At least now I understand why she is pushing so hard for their votes to count.  I still don't understand where she is getting her math about her winning more votes than him, but I did hear the news people saying that she is purposely not counting 3 of the states in her figures where Obama won, so I guess if you leave out some of the states he won yes she does have more votes, but that seems hardly fair.  On the brighter side I don't feel bad about being confused because at least I'm on the same wavelength as the media because they can't figure it out either.  Just thought that was an interesting "tidbit" on the news.
