Michigan: Delta County Commissioners reverse course and certify recall results

A never mind moment -- following last week's challenges in Delta County, where the local board of canvassers refused to certify the ouster of three Delta County Commissioners, they have reversed course and certified the recall.

The board's refusal seemed to be based on claims (by election deniers from the presidential race) that two of challengers had 2.64 votes for every one for the incumbent.  

All three incumbents were blown out in recall races on May 7th, Commissioner Dave Moyle (R) lost to Kelli Van Ginhoven (D) 932-353; Commissioner Robert Barron lost to Myra Croasdell, 1410-514; Commissioners Robert Petersen lost to Matthew Jensen, 947-358. The vote was between 72-73%.

If the board didn't certify by May 20, the issue gets sent to the state to examine at the county's expense.

The recall was over their votes to fire the County Administrator (and apparently over their opposition to DEI issues).

Lots of issues in the signature stage.
