Both Michigan and Wisconsin were arch-Republican machine states. With some exceptions, they basically didn't have elections up there between 1855 and 1930, they had primaries instead - the Democrats didn't stand much more chance of winning anything than the Republicans did in the Upper South (as opposed to the Deep South). The reason for either result, then, is machine support.
