Joe Biden won, Michigan elector coup 'not going to happen,' GOP leader says
Source: Bridge MI
LANSING Democrat Joe Biden is the president-elect, and while Michigans Republican-led Legislature is investigating the election, it will not award the states 16 electors to GOP President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey told Bridge on Tuesday.
Hundreds of activists who protested at the Michigan Capitol on Saturday repeated the presidents unproven claims of widespread voter fraud, urging lawmakers to stop the steal by choosing their own pro-Trump representatives to the Electoral College.
Conservative groups have also started phone and letter-writing campaigns in an attempt to persuade legislative Republicans to decide the election for Trump.
Thats not going to happen, Shirkey, R-Clarklake, said in a wide-ranging interview with Bridge Michigan. He noted state law awards electors to the winner of the states popular vote. And Biden won the state by more than 146,000 votes, according to unofficial results.
