Trump tries to sabotage Michigan vote

The COVID Diaries – 215 19th November

Donald Trump appears to be mounting an all-out assault on the election result in Michigan in what seems to be an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 150,000 votes victory in the state.

Trump has been putting pressure on Republican state lawmakers to try and hijack the Michigan electoral college by putting forward alternative slates of electors to compete with those selected by Michigan’s voters.

There is no indication that Trump’s desperate strategy has any remote chance of success.
