2020 U.S. presidential election

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has officially appointed a slate of Democratic electors to the Electoral College. Who are they and what do they do?

Republicans are receiving phone calls and emails, purportedly from President Donald Trump’s campaign, urging them to appoint their own electors. Trump’s campaign isn’t commenting, and GOP leaders say they don’t have that authority.

For a full day, GOP activists repeat election claims that courts have already rejected. Republican lawmakers who hosted the hearing say they have a duty to investigate. Democrats say the hearing wasted time with ‘unsubstantiated cries of fraud.’

After three weeks of false claims and wild tweets, President Donald Trump’s longshot bid to overturn his election loss is over. The deadline has passed to seek a recount, and the GOP politely declined a visit from campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani.

President Trump’s effort to target votes and raise false fraud accusations in Black communities could cause lasting damage, experts say.

President Trump can still request a recount in Michigan, but Monday’s certification vote by the Board of State Canvassers closes off yet another avenue for Trump to contest President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and begins the formal process for next month’s Electoral College vote.

After a week of drama, the Michigan Board of State Canvassers affirmed Democrat Joe Biden’s 154K win in a 3-0 vote,  dealing what could be a lethal blow to President Trump’s long-shot bid to persuade lawmakers to defy the popular vote.

 All eyes will be on an obscure four-member, bipartisan board with certifying Michigan’s election. Here’s what to expect when the board meets at 1 p.m. Monday. You can watch it here.
