Michigan lawmakers who met with Trump say they see nothing to change election outcome - CNNPolitics
After Trump invited them to the White House, a move clearly designed to intimidate them, the Republican legislators came out with this statement:
"We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan's electors, just as we have said throughout this election,"
"Michigan's certification process should be a deliberate process free from threats and intimidation. Allegations of fraudulent behavior should be taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and if proven, prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And the candidates who win the most votes win elections and Michigan's electoral votes. These are simple truths that should provide confidence in our elections."
Trump's continued false statements about voter fraud are now at the point of trying to circumvent the will of the people. Fortunately, there are some, even within the Republican party, that are willing to stand up to his antics and respect the way our country chooses its leaders. I just wish more Republican leaders did the same thing.
