Uhhhh, I don't know at this point and feel as if time is running out for Donald Trump as his efforts to flip Michigan is still stalled. A federal court rejected a lawsuit today and the Mich. board of canvassers have voted to certify the Michigan presidential race for Joe Biden.
I see this article from the Detroit Free Press:
A Republican member of Michigan's state canvassing board broke with his GOP colleague Monday, joining two Democrats in voting to certify the state's election results.
Three members of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers voted to certify the results, arguing it was their required duty under the law. Republican Norm Shinkle abstained, alluding to election issues in Detroit and elsewhere.
The decision by board Vice Chairman Aaron Van Langevelde to vote to certify allayed the fears of many that Republican board members would delay formalizing election results, likely pushing the decision to a court and furthering President Donald Trump's efforts to undermine the will of Michigan voters.
"This board must respect the authority entrusted to it and follow the law as written. We must not attempt to exercise power we simply don't have," said Van Langevelde, a staff attorney and policy adviser for the state House Republican Caucus.
Before the meeting, Shinkle had indicated he would not vote to certify. His wife, Mary Shinkle, was one of more than 100 people who filed affidavits in support of a federal lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign alleging misconduct in Detroit.
"Undermine the will of Michigan voters" and perhaps by looking at the votes in Wayne County/Detroit it's also "disenfranchising Black voters". I see a narrative here, that may or may not be true. I think voters are disenfranchised when an election is legit fixed.
Anyway as I said alright time is starting to run out. And I see it's in the news that the federal General Services Administration is about to begin the transition from Trump to Biden by January 20, 2021. I'm sure there are other aggressive pending actions, but it's difficult to see how Trump can flip the electoral vote to his favor at this point.
