UPDATE: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wayne-county-republican-canvassers-rescind-votes-certifying-election/story?id=74290114
A spokesperson for the secretary of state is shooting down the possibility of the two GOP members rescinding their vote, saying it is out of their hands at this point.
"There is no legal mechanism for them to rescind their vote."

He's meeting with the MI state level election board GOP members now to try and bribe them instead.

Trump lost. Go away trumpcuck, no one likes you.
OsamaBertLaden
And the degradation continues. Thanks for for proving my point.
TendsToAgree
The last 4 years, you trumpcucks have been vile. Have your medicine, cunt.
AxolotlInATopHat
So they didn't want to certify it, so cheato said thanks, so they "reversed course" and didn't certify it? What am I misreading here?
elcee50
They refused to certify it, then gave in and certified it. Then Trump called them and now they want to take the certification back
AxolotlInATopHat
Oooh, those affidavits were not part of the certification, they were attempts to rescind the certification. I see now. Thank you!!
carcarodon
Can someone explain that for us poor europeans please?
WeylandYutaniCorp
After a recount the vote is certified by officials. They were bullied by T after certifying. They recalled their vote, but they're not ~
WeylandYutaniCorp
~ even legally allowed to do that, besides, it doesn't matter, Biden still wins. T is an idiot and a fascist.
Ana5ta51a
Is this even legal?
leodavinci1
Not sure if I got it right, but SO is outraged by a story this afternoon that Trump invited MI's electors to the WH and that they accepted.
md8675309
Is this considered election tampering?
Septfox
Even if it were, nobody's ever held him accountable for interfering before...they're certainly not gonna bother now.

I doubt the statute of limitations will be up after Jan 20th....
motoalchemist
disassembling mail sorters, removing drop boxes, gerrymandering districts, disallowing ballots, 9 hour wait lines to vote. turd still lost

Trump fuckery
unsolicitedadvice
So, they backed down from their own decision under peer pressure, but the guy commending them to resist peer pressure is the bad guy.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Interfering with an election's a crime, no?

His efforts, are just an embarassment. There's a fucking pandemic happening. Why even fuck around w foreign policy and frivolous lawsuits?

Those supporting him are also losers, maybe even more pathetic. #sad

oh that was awesome. i really needed that today. Thanks for posting, Sister Midnight

Imagine if Clinton had done stuff like this and sued states to claim she won, think Trump supporters would have accepted that?
SnarkShark2020
"Time's running short for trump". TIME'S RUN OUT! THE ELECTION ALREADY HAPPENED!
newpotatocaboose67
Votes are not certified at the state level in MI until Monday. The plan here is to get the state legislature to send Republican electors
docchloroplast
The legislatures of at least MI, PA and I think NV have indicated that they have no intention of going against the results of the vote (1/2)
docchloroplast
Let’s hope they don’t get a nudge otherwise by Uncle Trump (2/2)
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
The number of people he'd have to convince to overturn the will of their constituents who vote for Biden is insane. There's no way he can 1
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
even come close to pulling it off. Not to mention the fact that some of the people he'd need to convince are DEMOCRATS. We need to just 2
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
stop giving him attention over this. The bigger the story this become the more it riles up his supporters. 3/3

We should have put him on that Space X flight so that he could be yeeted into space.

I think they should be charged with perjury.
Septfox
Interesting how they got a call, and were immediately willing to sign affidavits. Sure are a lot of those flying around these days, despite>
Septfox
no actual evidence being presented. Kind of makes one wonder if the "fleece the fanbase" fund is being used to buy them by the dozen.
beardsandbeers
Doesn't matter, times up, votes are certified, can't take it back. Byeeeee
FloodingWaters
How lucky are we that the fascists are incompetent as fuck this time. This system is so fragile if they had their shit together
n0n53n53
no backsies bitch
elcee50
Yeah, and my understanding is that even if they didn't certify, the state would certify anyway. It's all so stupid.
TheS4ndm4n
That's the play. State is red. Trump wants them to appoint republican electors and ignore the election result.
Silnt39
And even if they didn't so what. Gonna take a lot more than that to turn all those states red
ZachariasWolfe
They're specifically targeting counties that WOULD flip them actually. Wayne County is the largest county in MI (17.5% of total pop.) and 1/

voted 68.5% Biden. 2/2.

Yah I get that but they would have to succeed in court in several states and most of their lawsuits have been tossed and his law firm quit

So you're saying he's being himself

Lol strange isn't it?

It matters to those who believe trump can still win and the extremists among them will make sure it matters to everyone else. I fear the →

→ Widespread violence we've been experiencing will be overshadowed by what's to come regardless of who actually wins.
TheBlueFabbit
One of the major contributions (speculative) to them even saying to go forward with saying they would certify, is the fact they got doxed.
beardsandbeers
It's all a sham of 'persecution' and ' fraud' being led by their orange deity.
TheBlueFabbit
If you have your other members of the board giving out your name and address, and leaking it publicly, you are being unfairly pressured.
TheBlueFabbit
So if they want to rescind their vote, they should be allowed legally since they were potentially pressured, and it isn't yet certified.
TheBlueFabbit
This does not stop their county sending it to the state, but it does raise serious questions if they don't do the audit like was promised.
beardsandbeers
Except only they say it was promised, nobody else says that it was promised.
beardsandbeers
She's a public official, her name is on the Michigan government website. And as far as I saw, nobody gave out her address. Not doxxed.
TheBlueFabbit
https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/19/wayne-county-canvassers-doxxed-threatened/6340324002/
beardsandbeers
Yeah, none of that is doxxing.
firefightingmanmanman
Public figures catching heat for a public vote is doxxing?
TheBlueFabbit
A public figure catching heat for a public vote is not. Saying where they live is, and trying to target them is.
TheBlueFabbit
https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/19/wayne-county-canvassers-doxxed-threatened/6340324002/
beardsandbeers
I've seen no proof that they were threatened or doxxed. But their confirmation isn't even necessary, the state board would confirm.
TheBlueFabbit
Thats why I added the qualifier (Speculative). They did however certify under the agreement that there would be an audit. That was not done.
beardsandbeers
Only according to them, according to the other parties an audit was never promised.
Rainbowdaesh
This is called a coup. Republicans are guilty of staging a coup which is treason. The fact that it’s being run by dipshits isn’t a defense.
dagnabbit0
I’m not so sure. Run by dipshits was the defense for Russian collusion .

ropetopus
Not yet. They're still trying to (ab)use legal process to get a legal mandate. 1/2
ropetopus
It's a coup attempt only if he tries to hold power after he's legally lost it (in mid Jan). 2/2
Rainbowdaesh
Petitioning election officials to certify a winner that didn’t actually get the most votes is literally an attempted coup.
ropetopus
They're disputing the got the most vote parts, not acting outside the law. It's shitty and childish, but not a coup 1/…
ropetopus
A coup is an attempt to *seize* power extralegally. Trying to find a court to agree with your crazy ideas is just a scam 2/2
nicktwink
can someone please explain if this is costing the taxpayer money or not ?
SamuthNBS
It's costing lives, mainly
ropetopus
When the defendants are government, taxpayers pay for the defense. The campaign pays for bringing the suit though
nicktwink
so taxpayer and donations? what a miserable cunt! that is basically a ponzi scheme bruh!
Alfadorfox
If they want an audit, I say we should run that audit. When the recount still shows Biden won, they will have no excuse.
channelranger
They will then find something else to bitch about. Republicans are at war with reality, like most cults.
uououououo
You're assuming they're arguing for this in good faith. They aren't. They never are. They'll just come up with another flimsy excuse.
GoW1n
Yes, exactly. Every one of these efforts sows more doubt among the gullible and easily persuaded.
ac304104
And then after all the lies are thoroughly refuted, they'll keep on repeating them as fact. Same cycle will all Trump bullshit.
WellAckchually
They don't want an audit. They want to drag the process out to Dec 8, when Congress can get involved.
n0n53n53
they want to delay everything as much as possible to avoid an EC vote
Honeypotsniffer
No.... No... No... What you don't know they have been on double secret probation all of this time so even when turd losses again. R-Recount!
gaaaaalavant
Nah, they'll never stop. When the audit says Biden won, they'll attack the people running the audit, or attack the audit process. On and on.
KootchieKoo
I could watch him lose all day. Judge after judge is telling them to f off, so if this is the shiny thing that keeps that infant (1/)

then you're really going to enjoy the Georgia recount, which just finished :)

Yup. From what I'm reading, Biden's lead was reduced... but still there. Because there were an expected tiny number of errors, but not enoug
Alfadorfox
h to overcome the lead he legitimately has.
