The Michigan lawmakers who met with Trump said they heard nothing that changed their minds. The voting results will determine the electors. I'm a little concerned about how they worded their visit to the WH: Michigan lawmakers at the WHThat reads awfully cagy to me. I think they are just trying to cover their asses with a plausible reason for going at all. I wouldn't worry.

Looks like Michigan won't certify the election tomorrow. A state board of two Democrats and two Republicans is suppose to certify the statewide election tomorrow but a Republican member says he wants an audit of Wayne County. The votes in question total 450 and Joe Biden won by 150,000, plus someone said they can't do an audit because there's no access to the records until the election is certified. The Democrats are researching what legally they can do about this. There will be another recount in Georgia over the same complaints, and there's a lawsuit in Pennsylvania saying all mail-in votes should be thrown out because the law passed last year to increase mail-in voting was unconstitutional (state). They say the change should have been a constitutional amendment not a legislative bill.
Keep telling myself not to read the news but everyday I look.
And the Republican observers in Wisconsin are not following the rules and messing up the recount.

DotRen, you are the Queen of the perfect meme! I think they are just trying to cover their asses with a plausible reason for going at all. I wouldn't worry. I asked my husband the other day, why didn't they just say 'sorry, we're busy with Covid, can't travel now', but he said they probably wanted to see the White House and be invited in. What I'm worried about is that they were photographed drinking Dom that evening at the Trump Hotel...that makes me damn nervous. And I also don't understand the Wayne County recount if the amount of votes is that small, what's the damn point?!?

To try to throw the election, and/or to keep the story out there that the results are questionable, and/or to needle the Democrats and play to their base.

Yes, absolutely, but I'm not sure why MI would give in to this BS when it's clearly not going to change anything. We knew this asshole wouldn't go quietly, but this is even over the top for him. He's such a mentally unstable idiot that at this point he's going to have to be removed from the WH. I assumed he would go to FL for Thanksgiving and not come back, because that seems like something he'd do to hide and surround himself with his base, but I heard he's not going, and it sounded like it wasn't his decision. I'm not sure why, has anyone heard? I'm hoping he will go for Xmas/NYE and not come back. I'd be shocked if he was present at the inauguration, his ego couldn't take that.

58 days till inauguration. Man, the days are crawling by...
I wonder how ole Mitch will deal with Biden's Cabinet picks? Do you think the Senate will contest many/all of them? Can Biden put in acting ones, like you-know-who did all the time, if there is no Senate confirmation? Trying to look forward with a bit of hope.

Can't wait for the day his name, his face, his whole being is no longer mentioned 24/7 365!
Enough is too much already!
Where's that darn hook?
Who has the hook?
58 more days? Ugh, I need more chocolate. Or, we need warp speed. Lol.

GSA tells Biden transition to next administration can begin!!!! Due to Michigan certifying their votes, I guess. I need a cartwheel emoji.

Anyone else holding their breath until Dec 14th? Do you think anything will happen to change the current status? I had to look up the significance of the date. It is when the states make their electors official. Always something new to learn.

I was going to look up the date too. Lol.
I've been holding my breath since the Oaf entered the White House. I'll take a deep breath and a sigh of relief when he and the rest of his cardboard family get the Hell out of Our House!
I hope America has learned a lesson. Sadly, I doubt it.

birdgal , I don't remember the exact percentage but a very large amount of New Hampshire Republicans want Trump to run again in 2024. Pennsylvania's governor certified the election for Biden. Now Wisconsin still has to finish the recount with the Republican observers being disrupters. Oh, one person made the comment that the errors in Wayne County, Michigan were higher when Trump won in 2016 but he didn't complain then.
