I heard on one of the CNN or MSNBC, the Michigan GOP is asking for a 13 day delay to recount Wayne.

[Demsrule86]

the RNC head Ronna McDaniel and the head of the Michigan Republican party are asking in writing for a 13 day delay while Wayne County is recounted. They are asking the two GOP canvassers not to vote for certification...This would likely mean the vote would not be certified by 12/13;I have no idea if this can work or not...thoughts?

[hlthe2b]

1. The defeated GOP Senate candidate asked for a recount & delay. I haven't heard what you report.

[Demsrule86]

6. I heard it on one of the morning shows.

[Roland99]

41. James lost by 97,000 votes. He's down 1.7 pts. A recount is ridiculous and will not be granted

[Sneederbunk]

2. Won't matter if remaining states are certified.

[Demsrule86]

3. Certification is under attack in all remaining states.

[dware]

10. And being defeated in all remaining states.

Not to fear, the certification of the remaining states will go forward as required by the laws of those states and PE Joe Biden will be awarded 306 electoral votes, which, along with the popular vote, is a landslide.

[Demsrule86]

19. Monday is certification day for PA and MI.

[dware]

20. Yes they are, and so is AZ,

and NV is this Tues. I believe.

Stick a fork in Pissolini, he's done.

[Demsrule86]

35. That would make me so happy to see his attempted theft of democracy stopped cold before

Thanksgiving.

[dware]

36. Thank whatever entity is out there that the good people of America

aren't letting him get away with this naked attempt at stealing the election.

Gotta go, the open road, plus WalMart, are calling for their delivery.

Have a great Saturday and keep your spirits up, this national and international disgrace of a man is almost over.

[Demsrule86]

38. You have a great day too...stay safe.

[marylandblue]

4. The court will order them to certify before the deadline. EOM

[Demsrule86]

34. Good to know...

[Happy Hoosier]

5. I really doubt it.

I have been keeping up with the legal arguments and simply put, the State Canvassing Board has no authority to do anything like this. Neither does the legislature. I guarantee that if the board deadlocks, the SOS will fill an emergency request to the courts to issue a Writ of Mandamus instructing the board to certify the results as required by law.

This is what I was talking about yesterday (and getting tut-tutted about it). The GOP will try this, but the law is NOT on their side.

[Demsrule86]

22. Thank you. I wasn't sure what would happen.

[Rice4VP]

7. I suppose they can ask for whatever they want

They should be called out for singling out that county. Recount the whole state or nothing

[Yavin4]

8. And if they do a statewide recount, they should have to pay for it.

They should have to pay for an expedited recount, multiple shifts working around the clock.

[Sherman A1]

11. Yup

"We are happy to do a recount for you!" Put your money on the table, cash only, no personal or GOP party checks.

[Demsrule86]

33. It is about delaying certifcation.

[Demsrule86]

23. Yeah...I wonder if the GOP Party person Michigan can face charges.

[Buckeyeblue]

9. As is typical of Repugs, they want to make up the rules as they go

This needs to be dealt with swiftly and severely. We should show zero tolerance for this type of obstruction.

I think the mid-term elections should be about Republicans hating our democratic process. The hate that the will of the voters has to be honored.

Each time they refer to the Democratic party as socialist we should immediately counter with the fact that they are fascist authoritarianists.

[dware]

12. It's already been dealt with,

there won't be any delay.
They can ask for whatever the fuck they want, the DEM SoS will deep six their requests and on Mon., the vote will be certified by the state canvassing board, and if that doesn't happen, two things will happen, either the court will require them to certify, or the court will do it, or, Gov. Whitmer can remove those that refuse to do their mandatory duty and appoint those that will.

[Buckeyeblue]

16. I know on paper this is how it should play out. And I have full confidence that Big Gret won't blink

But I want this crammed down their throats. I remember how quickly Republicans wanted to shut down any talks of recounts or irregularities in 2016.

[dware]

17. I cannot, nor do I want to,

disagree with you.

[Demsrule86]

31. Yeah...the media was frothing at the mouth about Hillary's 'delay' in conceding.

[Demsrule86]

42. I agree...I think w should start referring to them as the dictator party...they want to do away with

the Republic.

[LizBeth]

13. I read the canvasser cannot "uncertified" what she already certified. Yours is not the first post

on this but right after it happened sec of state said person signed it it was done and had been certified.

[Demsrule86]

24. No this has to do with the state certification which will happen on Monday. These numbers will

be sent to Congress, I think on December 13th...and there is a state canvassing board with that will certify the state...there two Democrats and two Republicans on this board. That is who this letter targets.

[LizBeth]

37. Thanks. Since this post I came across a number of others, lol including sec of state video that

was excellent.

[Demsrule86]

43. I will have to watch that.

[LizBeth]

47. Ya. Yours was first cup, hers was third cup of coffee. ;)

[occupant]

14. They'll just keep it up, keep it up, bug. bug, buggin....

Thanx Happy Hoosier for the info that, it let me exhale. This has been such a harrowing experience! Demsrule86, this is very interesting info after reading about the "wine and dine" bash after the meeting. I wonder if he even met them? Maybe just sent a sucking lackey to suss the Michigan Militia out...

[Demsrule86]

25. If all goes well, PA and MI will be certified on Monday.

[subterranean]

15. Biden's margin of victory in Wayne Co. is similar to Hillary's in 2016.

Biden won Wayne County by 68.3%-30.3%.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won 66.4%-29.3% (Gary Johnson took 2.4%).

Also, Biden's 68.3% share of the vote this year is considerably lower than Obama's 73.1% in 2012.

There's nothing to see here.

[Demsrule86]

27. It is all about the delay and stopping the electoral college.

[Windy City Charlie]

18. So

So the strategy they seem to be going with now is run out the clock on certifications so that the electors don't have to abide.

[dware]

21. Which, like everything else Pissolini touches,

ends up in epic failure.

[Demsrule86]

30. Yup, scumbags and thank God incompetent scumbags.

[Demsrule86]

28. That is it exactly...don't think it can succeed but it worries me.

[Windy City Charlie]

40. Yes

It's no different with these "investigations of fraud" they want to conduct before the votes can be certified. No actual investigation would take place....it's just a matter of keeping the votes from being certified, knowing the Electoral College won't wait.

[Demsrule86]

44. And we need to certify those votes ASAP...

[StarfishSaver]

26. They can ask for anything they want

It has about as much legal weight as me asking Santa Claus for two new front teeth.

[Demsrule86]

29. I hope the two GOP on the state canvassing board just certify and obey the law.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. The main point of these seemingly idiotic moves appears to be to support Pissolini's bogus claims

that he was victorious, but got cheated by the demonic Dems. This keeps his cult happy and dying (in some cases literally) to give him more money through various channels--purchasing his not-made-in-America "America First" crap merchandise, buying tickets to his future ego rallies, and direct donations.

Not saying I'm 100% confident his Trump-U-quality lawyers won't manage to pull some sort of rabid rabbit out of a moldy hat, but people who know more than I do seem to think it's highly unlikely.

[Gothmog]

39. trump has not stopped his efforts to steal Michigan's electoral votes

I strongly believe that trump will not succeed but I will feel a great better when the Michigan certification is final . trump is doing his best to either get the GOP state legislature to put their own delegation of electors or to delay the selection of electors. We need to be viligent

45. That is how I feel...this is so ridiculous. I can't believe a president could attempt a coup with

the support of his worthless GOP Party.

[kentuck]

46. They have already had 18 days since election.

They should run on schedule.

[Demsrule86]

48. This is all about delaying certificatation to put it in the house and steal the election.

I don't think it will work...but am concerned.
