Many people don& #39;t believe the MI legislative leaders& #39; promise. Yes, trust but verify. But:
The legislature doesn& #39;t certify the electors. The governor does. The only Q is whether they& #39;ll go rogue and appoint a *separate* slate in defiance of popular vote: https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1329777980906868736">https://twitter.com/ThePlumLi...
