Michigan: Delta County Commissioners replacement held up by board of canvassers refusing to certify blow-out results

New challenges in Delta County, as the local board of canvassers refused to certify the ouster of three Delta County Commissioners. The board's refusal seems 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 doesn't certify by May 20, the issue gets sent to the state to examine at the county's expense.

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

Lots of issues in the signature stage.
