🚨 Republican member of Michigan Board of Canvassers, Aaron Van Langevelde, will certify the Michigan election results.

Watch his comments here.
Norman Shinkle, the other Republican member, just said he's NOT voting for certification.
Breaking: The Michigan Board of Canvassers voted 3-1 to certify the election results.
Correction. Since Shinkle abstained, the vote was technically 3-0.

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.

GOP is calling for an audit to give the MI SCB an excuse to delay certification.

The next play is to cast enough doubt to shade MI's Republican legislature's treasonous move to appoint its own electors. Whitmer could appoint a competing slate.

This is going to get messy.
I urge everyone to read this op-ed by Jeff Timmer and Bob LaBrant. Read it several times.

Pay very careful attention here. Trump has been working this angle for months.

FRUSTRATING.

Biden needs transition clearance NOW. But House Dems are just sitting around waiting to hear back from @GSAEmily after a letter they sent a few days ago.

.@ThePlumLineGS says Oversight Chair @GerryConnolly is NOT aggressively seeking Murphy's testimony.

"Serious thought has to be given to next steps," Connelly muses.

He says he doesn't want to make a move until he knows how Biden's team plans to game this out. Why?

Consider this: We're asking Emily Murphy to do something for which she will be immediately fired and probably receive death threats.

Why aren't we putting the same pressure on House Democrats? They can subpoena her tomorrow for an emergency testimony.

I believe that every United States senator who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, but now defiles that oath by not recognizing the winner of a free and fair presidential election, should be stripped of their U.S. citizenship and exiled.
Today I took a 50-mile trip through rural Michigan to see my dad. I was appalled at the number of Trump campaign signs, banners and flags still up.

These people honestly think the election is ongoing. That Trump has a real chance with his stupid lawsuits.
And with the demands for Fox News hosts and Republican politicians to not ever say "President-elect Biden" - I don't think this ends here.

I think there is a significant percentage of the population - maybe 30% or more - who will never recognize President Biden.

The most ill-conceived memo in U.S. government history has got to be that ridiculous OLC memo that places a president above the law.

It put Trump out of justice's reach and every crony who did his bidding. It allowed the corruption of huge sectors of the Executive branch.
Without that memo, Trump would have been indicted for Obstruction of Justice before Barr ever happened on the scene.
Without that memo, Trump probably couldn't have run for reelection. He wouldn't have gotten away with threatening to fire McGahn unless he falsified documents; he wouldn't have gotten away with extorting Ukraine.
