Dammit -- Shinkle actually abstained, after saying he would vote against. So technically it's a 3-0 vote on certification. — PolitiTweet.org

Would add that Van Langevelde, the x-factor entering today, came off as exceptionally thoughtful and well-prepared. Emphasized "the rule of law." Quoted John Adams on "a government of laws, and not of men." Went toe-to-toe w/ GOP superlawyer Charlie Spies on the board's purview. — PolitiTweet.org

The key exchange -- between GOP canvasser Aaron Van Langevelde and longtime Michigan elections guru Chris Thomas -- tells you why AVL requested to hear public comment. He wanted Thomas, who's universally respected, to testify in ways that gave him cover to vote for certifying. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Thomas, the state's longtime nonpartisan elections guru, just got done educating the reluctant GOP canvasser (Shinkle) on the duties of the job. Now he's providing cover for the willing GOP canvasser (AVL) who's eager for Thomas to affirm there's no way out of certifying. — PolitiTweet.org

THERE IT IS: Aaron Van Langevelde, the mystery GOP canvasser, says the board has a "duty" to certify the results today, but asks to hear public comments before doing so. There's some dispute over mechanics now, but the suspense is behind us. Michigan is going to certify results. — PolitiTweet.org

With #Michigan canvassing board underway, can tell you three things 1) As of Friday, lots of Rs believed we were headed for 2-2 deadlock and court intervention 2) Same Rs today believe certification will pass, only question being 3-1 or 4-0 3) I'll have a story on what changed — PolitiTweet.org

Good morning. A reminder that regardless of what Michigan's board of state canvassers does this afternoon, Joe Biden won the state, he will receive the state's 16 electoral votes, and there is nothing President Trump or his Republican Party can do about it. These are facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Just FYI, after 48 hours of high-level conversations with Michigan Rs & Ds, it's clear the results will stand. Joe Biden will receive the state's 16 electoral votes. There is no alternative under MI statute. This Trump/Michigan GOP meeting is a sideshow on par w/ Rudy's presser. — PolitiTweet.org
