WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. (WXYZ) — After initially being deadlocked on a vote to certify election results, The Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted unanimously to certify election results Tuesday evening. The motion to hold another vote came following hours of public comments condemning Republican canvassers' decisions to vote against the certification.

The board of canvassers vote initially tied 2 to 2 along party lines. But just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, the board filed a motion and voted to certify the results under the stipulation that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson does a comprehensive audit of the election in the county.

Disappointing, but not unexpected. Wayne County's canvass was off by 30 or 40 votes out of 867,000.

If they didn't certify, the State Board of Canvassers certainly would have.

The delay was noticed, and it’s drawing serious suspicion now.

“the stipulation that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson does a comprehensive audit of the election in the county.”

Yeah, you can get Stacy Abrams to help you out.

For all the joking our side likes to do about the Left being weak, time and time again Republicans show that they can be pretty big pussies. The Left gets out there and fights like hell.

Please don’t say “cave” when the word is “collaborate”.

Wayne County also has about 1.4 million registered voters, when it only has about 1.3 million people over the age of 18 (not all of whom are citizens, either)... but nothing strange is going on there, right?

Ahhh, someone must have threatened to call the republicans nasty names like ‘racists’ or something, so of course they caved.

F’ them all.

Trump tweeted about this, then got a huge stab in the back.

But, a true audit would find this joke of Detroit to be a fraud. That was happening in 2016 if I recall...and when they started to release how shoddy it was they cancelled the recount.

I can’t imagine that this time is any cleaner?
