RNC Seeks Audit Of Votes In Majority Black MI County

Reuters reports:

The Republican National Committee and the Michigan Republican Party wrote to Michigan’s state board of canvassers on Saturday asking it to adjourn for 14 days to allow for an audit of ballots in the state’s largest county.

The board, which includes two Democrats and two Republicans, is due to meet on Nov. 23 to certify election results and will have as many as 20 days to do so.

The letter urged a full audit of votes in Wayne County, which includes the majority-Black city of Detroit, citing allegations of “irregularities” in the county that have not been substantiated.

Here we go. The Republican Electors that were flown to the Shite House have now decided to postpone certification for two weeks while they audit ONLY THE MOSTLY BLACK WAYNE COUNTY. If every Black person in Georgia doesn’t vote on Jan 5 to win the Senate we go back to the 50s.

I guess MI House Speaker @LeeChatfield + @RepJimLillyMI were in a celebratory mood last night, drinking Dom Perignon at the Trump Hotel til midnight ? pic.twitter.com/s7FDpDdshm

So I’m supposed to believe that Michigan Republicans, who have never cared about covid before, spent an hour discussing aid with trump, stood up to him over the election and then went to Trump hotel to drink champagne and celebrate their independence?
