Abrupt reversal
Even after the initial party-line deadlock, experts were skeptical that the results from Wayne County would ultimately be excluded from the statewide count. That would have put Biden's Michigan victory in jeopardy -- but CNN has projected that he will win 306 electoral votes, which means he'd still become the next president even in the unlikely scenario that he doesn't get Michigan's 16 electoral votes.
During the meeting of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, Vice Chair Jonathan Kinloch called the earlier deadlock "reckless and irresponsible." Kinloch is one of the two Democrats on the panel.
"This board, over the years, has taken pride in not allowing politics to show itself in the actions of what we do," Kinloch said. "There is no reason under the sun for us to not certify this election. I believe politics made its presence here today, and I think forever that this board will have to live with the fact that we have allowed external, non-relevant issues to impact this decision today, hoping to change and bring about an outcome that will not happen."
The Republican chair of the board, Monica Palmer, explained why she had earlier voted against certification.
"Based on what I saw and went through in poll books in this canvas, I believe that we do not have complete and accurate information in those poll books," Palmer said.
At one point, Palmer suggested that the board certify the rest of the county's results, aside from Detroit, which was not pursued by the board.
"I would be open to a motion to certify communities other than the city of Detroit" Palmer said, referring to other parts of Wayne County.
When the meeting opened up for public comments, Wayne County citizens lined up to voice their frustration over the board's initial decision to delay the certification of results for hours.
Rev. Wendell Anthony, the head of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, harshly criticized Palmer's suggestion to exclude Detroit from the county's certification of results.
