Looks like they are headed for a deadlock, but it is just more slow-walking and foot dragging that leads to the same place. A Biden win by popular vote in that state.

 

If the board does not vote Monday to certify Michigan's election results, legal experts don't expect it will pose a serious threat to appointing the state's presidential electors.

 

If the board showed no signs of acting to certify, someone would almost certainly sue in the Michigan Court of Appeals, seeking an order requiring the board to do so. Such an order could then be appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court. Once court proceedings are concluded, preferably before the Dec. 8 "safe harbor" date by which Congress is required to accept Michigan's electoral votes, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer would certify the state's 16 presidential electors ahead of the Dec. 14 convening of the Electoral College.

 

Not based off what I've watched.

 

After each witness one of the GOP guys keeps asking if the witness can give him any legal reason that they can not certify the results, or that they can ask for an audit, and no one answers his question saying they can. 

 

It'll be a 3-1 decision and it will be certified later today.

I hope the GOP folks are not just going through the motions.

 

Shinkle's wife Mary was a Republican poll challenger at the TCF Center in Detroit and signed an affidavit used by the Trump campaign in a federal lawsuit that has since been withdrawn. The other - Van Langevelde, is an attorney and former assistant prosecutor in Branch County, and works for state House Republicans, whose leader, Speaker Lee Chatfield, flew to Washington, D.C. on Friday with a handful of other GOP lawmakers to meet at the White House with Trump.

 

We will see - my point was that even if they did do the deadlock thing, it would just be foot-dragging a certification that will happen regardless in a few weeks.

AVL just said he WILL vote to certify.

 

Shinkle gonna go down with the scumbag ship. No surprise.

 

Let's see if Trump stays true to form and tweets how this normal rubber-stamp process has been usurped, with a bunch of capital letters about FRAUD and STEALING because using all caps means you are being honest.
