JUST IN: @GOPChairwoman & @MIGOPChair pen a letter to the Board of State Canvassers asking them not to certify Michigan’s election results at Monday’s meeting. Instead, they ask them to adjourn for 14 days & audit Wayne County results first.

More delays. Like that will change the vote count for Trump. ProudMNDemocrat Nov 2020 #4
They know damned well that's illegal. There can't be an audit until after the vote is certified. catbyte Nov 2020 #5

vote to be whittled down, to be thrown out if possible while other counties, majority white ones, do not need to be scrutinized.

That's Racism 101.

We've not heard the last of this.

But they have ZERO authority, and can promptly go shove their bullshit letter up their asses AFAIC.

NOT.

The state canvassers are required by law to certify the results. They have no option. They also lack the will do go against Michigan voters.

But they don't want to get a MEAN TWEET from President Pennywise. GOPers as a whole live in terror and will sell their souls to avoid a MEAN TWEET. Oh, that mean tweet-- It's the 21st century equivalent to being dragged to the guillotine. GOPers deserve pity.
