Aaron Van Langevelde, a Michigan GOP canvassing board member, on Monday voted to certify the state's
election results. And with that, Michigan's 16 electoral votes, as expected, will go to President-elect
Joe Biden.
The four-person board, which is split between
Democrats and
Republicans, certified the vote 3-0, with the other GOP member abstaining, Politico's Tim Alberta reports.
Biden won Michigan by around 150,000 votes, but it wasn't always clear until recently that the board would certify because of President Trump's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud in the state.
Langevelde put that to rest, stating "we have a clear legal duty to certify the results of the election as shown by the returns that were given to us. We cannot and should not go beyond that."
