Claiming they want to rescind their vote, because they were threatened.
Even though its a long shot. All of this is so disconcerting for the future of our democracy. Its seems all of this coming from his base and the republicans is to own the libs. Its like all they want is to cheat and connive their way to an electoral win. His lawyer Jenna Ellis admitted as such yesterday when the two board members voted not to certify. She said, This evening, the county board of canvassers in Wayne County, MI refused to certify the election results. If the state board follows suit, the Republican state legislator will select the electors. Huge win for trump.
So thats it. Thats their plan. Damn the republic. As long as furher Trump remains in power. And they are playing a dangerous game with their cult the longer this continues. At this point Im sure their will be attacks by the fringe who truly believe the election was stolen.
But lets play their scenario which is extremely short sighted. Trump gets in office through faithless electors. Then what... well the end of America. Do they really believe all of us are just gonna take a scenario like that lying down? So while they cheer, yeah we owned the libs again, mass protests and a nationwide strike begins.... the economy collapses leaving millions out of work and forced into the economic wasteland... food supply dwindles millions starve... and all those Trump supporters with kids can look into their kids hungry eyes and say well at least we owned those libs...
Rant over. But this does not bode well for the future of our democracy unless we protect it..

(21,753 posts)They could have just certified the damn vote, which is what will happen anyway, and gone on back to their lives.
Instead they are stuck in the middle of a national media frenzy.
I'd feel sorry for them, but they did this to themselves.

(419 posts)Are definitely behind this. Their affidavit means nothing. They certified. If they wanted to rescind they will have to face a court and explain exactly why.

(51,590 posts)who then will go on to tell their own starving kids the same thing then it all starts over.. etc etc etc. We are breeding morons! Period. Thank god I had two parents with brains and a conscience. Not a lot of money but a lot of common sense and empathy for fellow man. I guess that is old fashioned now, but I am only 58 and I do care about fairness. I taught my students about fairness and why it is more than just a virtue. Is that why I am so angry right now? If Biden loses due to idiots like Emily W Murphy and more angry, hate filled people grow up believing their lies, what do we do? It has been like this since Reagan. Does it ever stop? Can we ever breathe a sigh of relief again? Can we ever trust a GOP employee ever again?

(18,634 posts)They didn't approve the vote count because of being threatened but now I'll bet the Trump party is threatening them if they don't rescind their votes.

(3,635 posts)They are specifically questioning heavily black areas (Detroit), which have less voting discrepancies than neighboring white areas (Levonia).
These clowns won't succeed with this, as their job is merely administrative and will have to provide a court with evidence for why they won't certify. They lack such evidence, as the discrepancies were typical clerical errors that occur. There were only 347 errors in a city of Detroit that had hundreds of thousands of votes cast. Any court will laugh in their faces and they will face consequences for such actions.

(25,111 posts)certification was dismissed.
I believe it is a done deal.
Also, there is a pattern going on to toss POC counties ballots that voted heavily for Biden/Harris.
WI count only in the POC counties. This needs to stop, it is so obvious.
