Michigan's Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield says he will not attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election in Michigan.
In a statement released hours before Electoral Voters cast the state's 16 votes for the Presidency, Chatfield says having state lawmakers decide the outcome "unpresidented."

Jack A$$
Spoken in the truest tradition of the Vichy French.
Both ways.
Notice he didn’t argue against any of the massive amount of fraud evidence.
Coward.
He’s too dense to realize that if he sits back and does nothing we’ve already lost it.
What a pansy.
It’s lives, fortunes and sacred honor time
But vote fraud=no problem
Bought off or coward.
Doesn't he realize if fraud is allowed to stand, we have already lost the country?
Plenty of evidence out of Antrim county machine.
May he go down in history as a TRAITOR.
He is letting the fraud overturn the election? He sounds like an “overturn election” lover.
In that case, you have already thrown away our Replublic, forvever, speaker idiot!
So massive amounts of election fraud isn’t a country lost????????????
He doesn’t realize that he’s already lost it by allowing a sham election to stand. Pathetic.
Then he should swing.
You lost it already.
Sooo...how much money would he stand to lose from China?
senatrix "Shirkin Mike" Shirkey already soiled himself and ran...
It seems he has been caught up in the group of traitors perpetrating the insurrection. Hang him till he is dead. Maybe it will take a long time for him to die. . . .
thus falls the Republican Party. In ignominy.
