LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Board of State Canvassers has voted unanimously to certify the the results of the November election, a notable difference from four years ago when supporters of Donald Trump cast skepticism on the results of the 2020 election. The board, consisting of two Democratic and two Republican members, voted unanimously to certify the results Friday, thanking election administers in the state for a well-run election. Four years ago, Trump and his supporters pressured election officials in the state’s largest county and on the state board to not certify the results of the 2020 election as part of his targeted efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
