Michigan’s Largest County Reverses Course, Certifies Election Results

The board of canvassers in Michigan’s Wayne County, which includes Detroit, suddenly backtracked on Monday night and voted unanimously to certify the county’s election results after initially reaching a deadlock.

At least we get to end 2020 by watching Trump lose daily.

Those republican chumps wilted when their racist screeds on twitter and Facebook became public
They figured out that maybe the spotlight wasn’t a good thing for them, considering the blatant racism of their move

This man doesn’t understand courage. I know, I know big understatement. But I was raised that courage was doing the right thing even when it is hard to do. He tweets they have courage for doing the most cowardly thing just to kiss his ass and get praise. Sick minded freaks all.

What changed between their first vote and their second vote besides pissing off every black person in America?

One of my BFFs is a member of League of Women Voters in Wayne County, was an election observer and involved with the certification process. She wasn’t able to participate in yesterday’s meeting due to work conflict, but wrote to me that some of her fellow leaguers attended the full 7+ hr (started at 3 p.m and ended after 10) virtual meeting and told her that the antics pretty much matched up with what has been reported.

Here are a couple of snippets from the email she sent me this a.m.:

The county Board kicked the decision upstairs to the state board. One of many despicable items on their list of offenses is that they appeared to have certified other “out of balance” precincts in white areas. Another is they had certified the August primary with essentially the same numbers.

and

Wayne County had voted overwhelmingly for Biden. Equally, if not more important, those votes also re-elected Sen. Gary Peters (D), narrowly defeating the Republican candidate John James. Had the county’s results not been certified, John James could be going to the Senate, thus destroying any hope of a 50-50 split in the Senate assuming that GA elects two Dems this January.

In this case, the power play wasn’t just about Trump, it was also about tilting the Senate.

The Racist Republican election commissioner really needs to be exhaustively exposed as the fraud that he is !!! He is 1000X worse than that judge in Florida who had to resign for violation the no- campaigning & no contribution rules.
This ass in Wayne County is a raging open racist!
