Trump’s escalating attacks put pressure on vote certification process

Post by jserraglio » Fri Nov 20, 2020 11:21 am

WASHINGTON POST

The chaotic effort to upend the U.S. presidential election has moved from the courtroom to a series of traditionally mundane events in county seats and state capitals, deliberations now under enormous pressure as President Trump and his allies seek to block formal recognition of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in key battleground states.

Can't read the WAPO. Joseph, do you mind copying and pasting the article? My list of subscriptions is already too big.

More fascinating details. Here's one from the Washington Post article you just linked:
If the Board of Canvassers deadlocks on the decision to certify Michigan’s results Monday, Whitmer could seek to replace its members on the spot, or seek a court order requiring the board to certify. Whitmer’s office has not said whether it intends to use those options.

At a news conference Thursday, Whitmer said she was confident Michigan’s 16 electoral votes would be awarded to Biden with no disruptions. She noted that Biden had won Michigan by a margin 14 times larger than Trump won it by in 2016.
The beat goes on....

So sorry, but I have decided no longer to reprint articles and provide links instead.

Barney, that article is not behind the usual pay wall, so you can access it free of charge by clicking on the link provided by Joe's post.
Please note: The Washington Post is providing this important election information free to all readers.
