I'm watching the Michigan State Canvassing Board meeting. I think one of the two Republicans is definitely inclined to certify. The other one, Shinkle, is a piece of nasty work though.
But I'm getting ready to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ugh. Now Laura Cox, the Republican MI GOP chair, is speaking and tells the board she thinks they should delay the certification because everything in the election was "stacked against Republicans."
She "demands that Republicans be respected."

I'm encouraged that Aaron Van Langevald (the reasonable r) didn't ask her questions.
Now John James's attorney is speaking. He's an ass too. He's basically telling them to delay.

Over and over again, the Republicans are mentioning the Michigan safe harbor day, which is 40 days after the election.
And they ALL KNOW this falls 5 days AFTER the national safe harbor day.
This is the play.

They also all know that certification needs to precede audits, but are pretending otherwise.
Van Langevelde is challenging Spies, James's attorney, on his argument that he has authority to investigate or audit results. Spies is dug in, but I think Van Langevelde understands the law.
Awesome. Van Langevelde says he "he respectfully disagrees" with Spies.
