Michigan: Two Delta County Canvassers resign following refusal to certify recall vote

Two Delta County Board of Canvassers members, Bonnie Hakkola and LeeAnne Oman,  have resigned after they originally refused (and then flipped) -- to certify the recall election vote that led to an ouster of three Delta County Commissioners.

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).
