Deadlocked board in key Michigan county fails to certify vote totals by deadline

DETROIT - In a party line vote, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers failed on Tuesday to certify its ballot count, punting the question of who won the state's most densely populated region to a state regulatory board that meets Nov. 23.

The four-member board's two Republicans voted against certification, while its two Democrats voted to certify the results.

The state board - also made up of two Republicans and two Democrats - has until Dec. 13 to reach a final decision certifying the winner of the election statewide.

Democrats expressed anxiety in recent weeks that Republican legislators will seek to use a quirk in state law to appoint their own electors.

Because electors must be chosen by Dec. 8 under federal law, some supporters of President Donald Trump have argued that if there is no winner by that date, the legislature should try to name its own representatives to the electoral college.

It's on.

The county board, comprised of 2 Democrats & 2 Republicans, failed to certify the counties results. That moves the decision to the state board.

The state board, comprised of 2 Democrats & 2 Republicans, has till December 13th to certify the results.

If the state board fails to certify the results, the Republican legislature will appoint the electors.

“After initially being deadlocked on a vote to certify election results, The Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted unanimously to certify election results Tuesday evening. “
