President Donald Trump’s push to subvert the 2020 election results took a potentially fatal hit Monday, as election officials in Michigan certified President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state and more key battlegrounds prepare to formalize Biden’s wins.

Michigan’s state Board of Canvassers certified the vote with three yes votes and one abstention, a bipartisan decision affirming Biden’s victory over Trump by more than 155,000 votes.

The typically routine exercise took on new significance this year after Trump and his allies pressured the board’s two Republicans to reject certification and seek a delay in order to investigate “irregularities” in Detroit’s vote counting — allegations that are not supported by any evidence of wrongdoing. Republicans have also pushed officials in other states to delay certification and have challenged the election results in court, mostly resulting in a string of legal losses.

Despite the public pressure, one of the two Republican board members joined the Democratic board members to certify the state’s election results, tossing aside the president’s attempts to slow the process down in the critical battleground state. Republican Norm Shinkle voted not to certify the results, something he had indicated he would do in interviews leading up to the vote.

But Aaron Van Langevelde, a lawyer for the state legislature’s House GOP caucus, joined Democrats Jeannette Bradshaw and Julie Matuzak in certifying the results. Van Langevelde argued at the meeting that state law requires the board certify results, and it didn’t have the authority to demand an audit or otherwise delay the results.

“I’ve reviewed the law here. It's not complicated, it is very simple,” Van Langevelde said during a back-and-forth with Charlie Spies, an attorney representing Republican John James, who lost to Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and is also seeking to delay certification. “We’re required to canvass the returns and determine the results. I’ve reviewed every section, I haven’t found anything about an audit, I’ve found nothing about the authority for us to delay certification because we’re waiting for more accurate results.”

(CNN)The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to begin the formal transition process, according to a letter from Administrator Emily Murphy sent Monday afternoon and obtained by CNN.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

And the worm turns.

The plaintiff has become the defendant, as a group of Black Detroiters and the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization have sued President Donald Trump over post-election efforts to nullify their votes.

Donald Trump has accepted a formal US transition should begin for President-elect Joe Biden to take office.

The president said the federal agency overseeing the handover must "do what needs to be done", even as he vowed to keep contesting his election defeat.

Re: U.S Election 2020

This is all mind games until the electoral college votes.

It's mind games for sure but not in any way that depends on the Electoral College. It's just about stringing along his supporters for additional cash.

If you can find any small print confirming that a portion of the donations will be used to pay down election campaign debt, you have a point. Otherwise, not so much.

Yup. What's good for the goose is good for the gander after all, although unlike the Trump fundraising e-mails which stipulated that a lot of the money will go elsewhere this does seem to be going to the transition.

BTW The people making the most bank out of this are his lawyers. The NYT reported that Trump is starting to think he is being strung along which is why Powell was kicked out and why his tone has moderated in the last few days. Guilliani is doing well for himself.
