by Alan Stamm Reps. Jack Berman and Tim Walberg stand with those who still question the results of the 2020 election, the Michigan congressmen announce Monday. We will not stand idly by without taking every lawfully available option to ensure the outcomes of our elections can be trusted, the Republicans say in a joint release confirming they will formally object during the Electoral College certification process Wednesday. This includes objecting to the electoral votes from disputed states where there is evidence warranting an investigation, add the pair. Bizarrely, that means they ll object to Michigan s 16 electoral votes for Joe Biden, cast on the same Nov. 3 ballots that sent them back to the House.
LANSING Republicans who backed President Donald Trump’s failed effort for another term insisted they just wanted “answers” even though they signed a brief seeking to overturn Michigan’s election.
Fifteen Michigan legislators and four of six of the state’s congressional Republicans filed legal briefs supporting a Texas lawsuit that sought to delay Monday’s Electoral College vote and block electors from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia from participating.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied the request Friday, after Bridge Michigan reached out to the lawmakers to understand their rationale for supporting a lawsuit that critics said supported “authoritarian, anti-democracy efforts” to satisfy Trump’s “tiny fragile ego.”
