“This unprecedented vote shows the serious issues that underlie the processes that happened on election day,” James said in a statement. At the time, James applauded the Republicans “for their bravery in the face of unbelievable pressure to ignore inconvenient truths that threaten our democracy.”
On Tuesday, Republicans on the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted against certifying November’s election results.
"As he continues this sinister deception, it’s clear James will put Trump before Michigan even past the bitter end." “What two-time failed Senate candidate John James is doing is not only frivolous, it’s dangerous and undermines the very foundation of our democracy," she said in a statement. Peters’ spokeswoman Vanessa Valdivia said James is engaged in “sinister deception.” Trump’s campaign has failed to provide any evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities in Michigan or any other state.ĭemocrats criticized James’ request to delay the vote. His request for a delay comes as President Donald Trump plans to meet Friday with Republican lawmakers from Michigan in what appears to be a baseless and unprecedented attempt to undermine the state's election results. James has launched a legal defense fund to challenge his 92,000-vote defeat. Time is the most valuable asset we have at this stage and I ask that we take all the time reasonable and allowed – not to undermine our elections – but to improve them and boost confidence in the results of the election.” “Sometimes the truth takes time to surface, and it’s rarely easy to get to. “I submit this request because I am interested in the truth and protecting the integrity of our elections,” James said. By state law, the board is required to certify the results by Monday.
