Votes cast in Michigan and Manistee County by year
1916: 650,973 & 4,704 (0.72% of votes cast)
1920: 1,048,411  & 4,570 (0.44% of votes cast)
1924: 1,160,419 & 6,371 (0.55% of votes cast)

As a percent of the state's population, Manistee declined from 0.95% in 1910 to 0.57% in 1920 to 0.36% in 1930. This makes a direct interpolation tough, but I'm pretty confident that some Harding votes were lost.

If Harding won by 2,571 votes, then the number of votes cast would be 7,146, 0.68% of the votes cast in Michigan. That fits much better.
