Michigan approves election result – with victory for Biden – VG

Biden won solidly with 154,000 votes, writes the AP news agency. The board that approved the result has two Republican members and two Democrats. The last two and one of the Republicans voted in favor. The last Republican member, Norman Shinkle, abstained.

This has put another nail in the coffin of Donald Trump’s widespread election fraud allegations. The 16 Michigan voters then go to winner Joe Biden.

There are three weeks left until the deadline for the election results to be formally approved.

Last week, it was announced that Trump had invited local Republican leaders from Michigan to the White House to persuade them that voter fraud had occurred. They claimed that they had not received sufficient evidence.

The Republican who ultimately voted to approve the result, Aaron van Langevelde, believes “the law is clear,” according to CNN reporter Manu Raju. Before the vote, it must have been unclear in which way he was going to vote.

– Now I have had the opportunity to look closely at the law. There is nothing in it that allows me to ask for a new review, Langevelde says according to CNN.

Trump’s campaign: we continue

Trump’s campaign legal group responds by saying the approval rounds are just a procedure, according to the Reuters news agency. They add that they will continue the legal battle.

There are still two weeks left for the election result to be ratified, something Americans call “safe harbor.”

Romney rages against Trump: – It is difficult to imagine a more undemocratic act

Following the Michigan announcement, Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander Trump is asking to throw in the towel. in a statement on Twitter He writes that everything indicates that Joe Biden, after all the states have approved their election results, will be president-elect.

My hope is that President Trump will be proud of his significant accomplishments, put the country first, and plan for a swift and orderly transition to help the next administration succeed. When you live in public, people remember the last thing you did, write.

Trump’s last hope

Major US media have long declared Joe Biden the winner, and even Trump loyalists like Tucker Carlson on Fox News have criticized Trump’s lawyers for making undocumented allegations of voter fraud, without following up on the evidence.

In Pennsylvania, the election is expected to be ratified on Wednesday. In Georgia, Biden is named the winner after the first count. However, he has received just over 12,600 more votes than Trump, and the president has exercised his right to request a new referendum. It will begin Tuesday morning local time and end no later than midnight on December 2, writes CNN.

Wisconsin could become another state where Trump relies on help from the state government, and where the process won’t land until early December.

To be successful, Trump and his lawyers must persuade the elected state government that large-scale electoral fraud has occurred. The United States Constitution allows state authorities to designate voters on their own, if the conduct of the election can be classified as “failed.”
