For fun, though, I also have enjoyed re-reviewing some of the wonderful "Crash Course" YouTube videos by John Green that discuss World and US History. The segments are relatively short, geared towards MUCH younger viewers, occasionally a bit "hokey" and John literally speed-talks so I always use the "CC" function. But they contain a LOT of relevant information that too many Americans do not seem to know at all.

They cover a lot of subjects and have other presenters as well. But John Green and his courses, which deal primarily with World and US History, along with some literature, are the ones I know best. I used to embed links to some videos into my PowerPoint university presentations when I was an Adjunct Professor, following my first "official" retirement in 2007. The students seemed to get a
kick out of them and they got some good discussions going.

No, the state certification comes from the Board of State Canvassers, which meets on Monday.

No, they can't. The legislature has nothing to do with seating electors in Michigan.
