Donald Trump Invites GOP Lawmakers From Michigan To WH In “Brazen” Effort To Intervene In Election Results

This is highly unusual. Donald Trump is trying to interfere in the election via a state that Joe Biden won by more than 155,000 votes, Michigan. The Associated Press reports:

President Donald Trump summoned Michigan’s Republican legislative leaders to the White House for a meeting Friday amid a longshot GOP push to overturn the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the battleground state.

Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that Trump invited Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield. They agreed to go, according to a state official aware of the leaders’ plans.

The New York Times says this “is the latest — and the most brazen — salvo in a scattershot campaign-after-the-campaign waged by Mr. Trump and his allies to cast doubt on President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s decisive victory.”

The move came after two GOP members from Wayne County Board of Canvassers signed an affidavit saying they want to rescind votes to certify the election.
