Trump tries another tactic

The COVID Diaries – 217 21st November

Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block confirmation of Joe Biden’s victory has seen Republican officials write to Michigan’s electoral board to request a two-week adjournment, rather than certify the election results on Monday.

In response, the Michigan Department of State has said that delays and audits are not permitted by law.

The department has called Trump and local Republicans’ claims of widespread fraud “wholly meritless”.
