Part of a Washington post article -
Amid heavy security, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) told those at the ceremonial gathering that “this was truly a historic election during the worst public health crisis we have seen.” She praised Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) and other state officials and election workers for “securing a fair and accurate election.”
A group of Republican electors challenging the vote was turned away from the gathering by state police.

Earlier Monday, a GOP state representative suggested that he and other Republican legislators might try to enter the building to try to stop the vote. Rep. Gary Eisen said he did not rule out the possibility of violence during that attempt.
But statehouse GOP leaders quickly rebuked Eisen, removing him from his committee assignments and rejecting the idea that the legislature could undo Biden’s win.
“Michigan’s Democratic slate of electors should be able to proceed with their duty, free from threats of violence and intimidation,” said Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R). “President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect [Kamala D.] Harris won Michigan’s presidential election.”
In the end, there was no violence outside the statehouse and only a smattering of protesters.
Biden won Michigan by more votes than any of the other swing states that sealed his victory. But despite that margin, Michigan still became the scene of several post-election dramas as Trump and his allies, pushing baseless claims of election fraud, leaned on the bipartisan boards of canvassers that Michigan uses to certify its votes.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

Originally posted by BBCThat doesn't mean the Trump team is giving up, of course. It's holding alternative electoral college proceedings with an alternate set of votes that will declare the president the real winner. They'll continue with futile court challenges and, eventually, ask Congress to overturn the election results.The process formally acknowledges election win, ending Donald Trump's hope of overturning the result.
I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!
Rules are like Egg's. They're fun when thrown out the window!
Difference is irrelevant when dosage is higher than recommended!

"Anybody that gets in politics has to be willing to accept winning and losing with some level of grace or maturity. I've done both. Losing is brutal, it's personal, it hurts, but if you're not willing to accept that, you should not be in political leadership."
"This country needs it desperately and, unfortunately, we haven't seen it demonstrated as much as we should."
- Representative Paul Mitchell, Michigan, 10th District“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

That's all I hear about now. That's all I hear. Turn on television—'Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' A plane goes down. 500 people dead, they don't talk about it,"
"Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' By the way, on November 4, you won't hear about it anymore,"
