   On Saturday, citing what it said were “procedural and accounting irregularities,” the Republican National Committee and the state Republican Party asked the statewide board to adjourn for two weeks rather than certify the result, allowing time for an audit of Wayne County results. County officials have said the number of errors is small, affecting maybe 450 ballots. In Michigan, Biden’s margin of victory is more than 150,000 votes.
   ...
   [Norman] Shinkle [one of the Board of Canvassers], the Republican chairman of his congressional district and a former state senator, said in an interview with The Washington Post Thursday that he was leaning toward requesting a delay in certifying the election to allow for an audit. One concern he cited is a debunked conspiracy theory circulated by Trump’s attorneys that Dominion Voting Systems machines deleted thousands of Trump votes.
   ...
   The other Republican on the board, 40-year-old Aaron Van Langevelde, is a former county prosecutor who works as a policy adviser and deputy legal counsel to the Republican leadership of the Michigan House of Representatives. Those leaders were invited by Trump to the White House on Friday. They said after the meeting that they had seen no evidence to warrant changing the outcome in their state.
