Here's the deal with certification of the MI election results:

  1. 2 GOP board of canvasser members initially voted against certification.
  2. They were told they had to vote that night.
  3. Under public pressure, they caved and changed their verbal vote.
  4. They are claiming they were lied to about their own authority, and wish to rescind their votes.
  5. The Secretary of State is set to certify the results on the 23rd, unless they can succesfully rescind their votes.

There are two questions that need to be answered. Is the verbal vote legally binding? If they've signed off on it, do they have the authority to rescind their votes, even if they can't claim they were under duress?

Until these two questions are answered, this is Schrodinger's Election. Don't be calling this a win yet. Unfortunately, this is another legal battle that needs to be one I think, and it's one we should never have had to fight in the first place.
