Trump tweets a victory that gets reversed on air. Wayne County just reversed its decision and votes 4-0 to certify. As seen live on CNN with Michigan’s Secretary of State, Trump tweets. CNN went to commercial break, and the ruling is reversed. BAM!
At 9:11 PM Trump began tweeting about it, bragging that they refused to certify the results
At 9:13 PM Wayne County announced they reversed the Decision AND will certify Biden's win
Republican appointees on a key board in Michigan’s most populous county Tuesday night reversed their initial refusal to certify the vote tallies in the Detroit area, striking a last-minute compromise with Democrats that defused a political fight over the process to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
The unexpected twist came after the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers had deadlocked on the day of the deadline for Michigan counties to certify the vote — a move President Trump celebrated on Twitter as “a beautiful thing.”
The Trump campaign has alleged irregularities in the vote count in the county seat of Detroit, accusations city officials have vigorously denied. Democrats accused GOP officials of seeking to disenfranchise voters in the majority-Black city of Detroit.
State Democrats say Trump has no hope of overturning Biden’s 148,000-vote lead.
But Trump supporters have urged Michigan’s majority-Republican state legislature to try to appoint its own electors if the state canvassing board, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, fails to certify the vote before the electoral college meets in December.
