Vote was 4-0, not sure if other republican also trying to get out of it.

I suggest that the first question that should be asked is "what time did Lindsey Graham call you?"

change her vote again.. "rescind"?!

I see.. the "violations" were from prior offenses.. she's not stopping.

It doesn't make sense.. unless she was threatened worse.



TY, Nd!

I want to change my dessert from chocolate cake to an ice cream sundae.

But you already ate up the chocolate cake.

I don’t care, I now want the ice cream instead.

(Any four year old can tell you how this goes)

She wasn't having their shit. There were minor clerical errors in Detroit (which is heavily black), less than in neighboring Levonia (which is mostly white) that these clowns are not calling for an audit of. Basically, these are Jim Crow tactics and AG Nessel and SoS Benson said as much, and that Michigan will be certified for Biden and there is nothing the GOP can do to stop it. They are scrutinizing black and brown areas and attempting to portray such voting blocs as inherently criminalistic and prone to fraud - when no such fraud exists.

Both Palmer and Hartmann changed their votes on certification to "yes" Tuesday after strong criticism and heartfelt appeals from citizens participating in the board meeting over Zoom.

But in the affidavits signed late Wednesday, both said they feel they made those votes under pressure and false pretenses and would now like to rescind their votes
