President Trump is checking every box on his list of ways to remain in the White House for another four years and his legal team is working overtime while facing hardships out on the road.
Several of the President’s lawsuits have already been dismissed in Pennsylvania leading to a full reconstruction of his legal team in the Keystone State which indicates that things aren’t going as well as Trump originally planned.
However, there is still hope for the president in that state because local officials have the option to hinder the entire electoral process by refusing to certify the results.
Such is the case in Detroit.
Officials in Wayne County, Michigan, which contains the city of Detroit, refused to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election after local representatives on the Board of Canvassers deadlocked in a 2-2 vote, sending the votes to state authorities for canvassing.
🚨🚨BREAKING: This evening, the county board of canvassers in Wayne County, MI refused to certify the election results. If the state board follows suit, the Republican state legislator will select the electors. Huge win for @realDonaldTrump

The issue seems to be drawn down party lines.
“Based on what I saw and went through in poll books in this canvass, I believe that we do not have complete and accurate information in those poll books,” board chairwoman Monica Palmer, a Republican, said, the Detroit Newsreported.
Board Vice Chairman Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat, called the inaction “reckless and irresponsible.”
Now if other Republican lawmakers and elected officials can be rallied to follow suit it may just give President Trump the fighting chance he needs to win back this election.
