Georgia certified this weekend. This is a good link - though of course it’s not updated hourly still shows MI as being not certified. https://cookpolitical.com/2020-national-popular-vote-tracker

“Faux Coup’s Pendulum” swings left.

It’s always “just a coupla guys” with you, isn’t it?

grack · November 23, 2020, 10:16pm

Merci, faux coup!

I actually subjected myself to watching about 20 minutes of the hearing (thinking it would be a quick vote - lol), and Shinkle came off as a poor man’s Steve Bannon. You could smell asshole wafting through the computer monitor.

Also, last county in AZ has certified. Mojave Co. AZ Secretary of State will certify on 11-30 (none of your “bipartisan” boards). So AZ is basically finished as well.

How far we’ve fallen when we celebrate some functionaries doing their damned jobs.

mattinpa · November 23, 2020, 10:18pm

Well, as a shy person I don’t know many people.

NO INTEGRITY ASS-COWARD …Norman Shinkle

Thank you, you beat me to it — I was going to put that in myself…

So just PA or some combo of WI,MN,AZ,NV.
Not that we need to wait for the certification since its beyond clear who won.

A couple of counties are not done yet. Though the PA SoS set today’s date for certification, according to the article below it is not a hard date. They will be done soon.
Some counties will miss Pennsylvania’s election results certification deadline - WLVR FM.

Hey!

ralph_vonholst · November 23, 2020, 10:21pm

Another Trumper hold out. Mojave County is where Republican snowbirds go to die.

There are 255 Million Americans that DID NOT vote for President-reject Trump.

And we LOVE conservative tears - ironically, they make the best lube!

These losers must respect this vast majority.

It’s past time for #PresidentRejectTrump supporters to reach out to Biden voters!!

karlsgems · November 23, 2020, 10:21pm

Right!?!? Doing a largely ceremonial job at that! A formality, if you will!

Only 1 of them, Norm Shinkle tried to throw down for the Con which is typical of him. 1 canvasser never indulged in this nonsense. Aaron Van Langevelde simply looked t the law and stated:

“We have a clear legal duty to certify the results of the election, as shown by the returns that were given to us,” Van Langevelde said. "We cannot and should not go beyond that. As John Adams once said, ‘We are a government of laws, not men.’

“I’ve reviewed every section. I haven’t found anything about an audit,” Van Langevelde said. "I found nothing about authority for us to delay certification because we’re waiting for more accurate results. I found nothing about making certification contingent on an audit. I found nothing that gives us the authority to review complaints for fraud.

"I mean, I think, the law is pretty clear here."

Now our job as Michiganders is to get Shinkle removed considering he has demonstrated his willingness to break the law.

I have a different take/perspective on all the Trump/GOP coup attempts… Trump and his enablers may not know it, but they are doing the Biden/Harris team a HUGE favor…

All their shenanigans are simply helping to affirm and re-affirm the Biden/Harris victory over and over and over again…

every single. time. they. try. to. claim. fraud.

The banality of evil.
