When a board of canvassers in tiny Delta County, Michigan, refused to certify its local election results for a county commission race last week, the defiant decision raised concerns among election experts and officials about where the 2024 campaign could land in November.

"Anyone who sees this latest incident in Delta County should be incredibly alarmed," said Marc Elias, a Democratic lawyer who has led legal efforts against election conspiracy activists around the country. "We all need to take incidents like this seriously and see it as a wake-up call for what we are almost certain to see this fall."

The local vote, which was eventually certified under pressure from state officials, attracted little outside attention. But some election experts believe there will be efforts to replicate Delta County's refusal to certify.

"All of these tactics are designed to paralyze election administration systems nationwide in an effort to force them to fail and undermine voters' faith in the process," said Kim Rogers, executive director of the State and Local Election Alliance. "These anti-democracy groups are taking these steps because they want to discredit the election if they lose."
