LANSING, Mich. (AP) President Donald Trumps personal lawyer urged Michigan Republican activists on Wednesday to pressure, even threaten, the GOP-controlled Legislature to step up and award the states 16 electoral votes to Trump despite Democrat Joe Bidens 154,000-vote victory.
Rudy Giuliani made baseless claims of massive fraud, all over the country, before testifying to a Republican-led legislative committee. Just a day before, Attorney General William Barr declared the Justice Department had uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.
GOP legislative leaders have said they will not try to replace Michigans electors.
Giuliani said the U.S. Constitution empowers legislatures to appoint electors directly, even though the Legislature long ago passed a law allotting them to the popular vote winner. Biden won the state by 2.8 percentage points. The result was certified by the states bipartisan election board last week.
