Monica Palmer, the Republican chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers who initially voted on Tuesday against certifying the county's election results, then reversed her vote, said Thursday she received a phone call from President Donald Trump Tuesday evening after the meeting ended.

Palmer said she did not know how long the call lasted, saying there was a lot of stress and adrenaline that night.

"He was checking to make sure I was safe after seeing/hearing about the threats and doxxing," Palmer wrote in a text message, referring to a firestorm of information released about her on social media.

Palmer earlier told the Free Press her family had "received multiple threats." "The threats have been made against myself, my daughter and my husband," she said. "Reports have been filed with Grosse Pointe Woods police and the FBI."

Trump targets vote certification in late bid to block Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) —

.........................................

In Michigan, two Republican election officials in the state’s largest county initially refused to certify results despite no evidence of fraud, then backtracked and voted to certify and then on Wednesday flipped again and said they “remain opposed to certification.” Some Republicans have called on the GOP statewide canvassers to so the same. In Arizona, officials are balking at signing off on vote tallies in a rural county.
.......................

.................................

Still, what happened in Wayne County, Michigan, on Tuesday and Wednesday was a jarring reminder of the disruptions that can still be caused as the nation works through the process of affirming the outcome of the Nov. 3 election.

There is no precedent for the Trump team’s widespread effort to delay or undermine certification, according to University of Kentucky law professor Joshua Douglas.

“It would be the end of democracy as we know it,” Douglas said. “This is just not a thing that can happen.”

Certifying results is a routine yet important step after local election officials have tallied votes, reviewed procedures, checked to ensure votes were counted correctly and investigated discrepancies. Typically, this certification is done by a local board of elections and then, later, the results are certified at the state level.

.........................

Then all eyes turn to statewide certification.

In Wayne County, the two Republican canvassers at first balked at certifying the vote, winning praise from Trump, and then reversed course after widespread condemnation. A person familiar with the matter said Trump reached out to the canvassers, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, on Tuesday evening after the revised vote to express gratitude for their support. Then, on Wednesday, Palmer and Hartmann signed affidavits saying they believe the county vote “should not be certified.” ....................................

14. It's not like 250.000 are dead

He has nothing better to do.

[DownriverDem]

15. Live in Wayne County

suburb. Why is this legal? It's being reported that they can't rescind their votes. It's over.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. He's bound and determined

[LiberalFighter]

30. Give him a fake tv and cell phone.

Have a feed to the tv that loops over and over.

[rustysgurl]

18. No Rules Apply To Him

He thinks he's above the law. He needs to be taught otherwise.

[dalton99a]

20. Kick

[Dorn]

21. It is time to Impeach for refusal to obey the law and start the transition

[cp]

22. "Nice family you got there, shame if anything happened to them."

[Cha]

24. Monica is a maggot racist Liar.. you can tell

by how she voted Not to certify Wayne Co. in the first place.. & said she would certify other counties.

I doubt she was threatened.. does she give the FBI proof?

[rustysgurl]

25. Once a thug ...

... always a thug. He learned a thing or two from his "friends" in NYC.

[Fritz Walter]

28. Let me make sure I understand this

The Cowardly Lyin' Loser checks in on a local election official to make sure she's safe, but -- to the best of my knowledge -- he hasn't made a single phone call to any of the relatives of someone who died after becoming infected with COVID-19.
Is that right?
By now, there's a quarter of a million family survivors who never got a single "thought or prayer" from this mango-color turd. I'm guessing that includes anyone in Herman Cain's family.

This is way, WAY, WAY beyond despicable.

[wishstar]

29. No candidate, certainly not the most powerful person in US should be calling election officials

[DeminPennswoods]

31. Where is an ALQ-99 pod

when you need one?

(ALQ-99 is the Navy's tactical jamming system. It's been said that an EA6B could jam electronics in all of NYC.)
