GOP Senate candidate John James asks Board of State Canvassers to delay certification [View all]

Source: Detroit Free Press

LANSING — John James, the Republican candidate for a U.S. Senate in the Nov. 3 election, asked the Board of State Canvassers Friday to delay its certification of Michigan's statewide election results.

The four-member board, composed of two Republicans and two Democrats, is scheduled to meet Monday to certify the results, amid ongoing efforts by Republican Donald Trump to overturn results that show Democratic President-Elect Joe Biden defeating him in Michigan by about 154,000 votes.

Trump has made unsubstantiated allegations of election irregularities in Detroit and elsewhere. The alleged irregularities would not come close to overturning the result, even if proven true, and have been rejected by several state courts.

In a letter to the board, James asked for a two-week delay "to fully audit the election results."
