Closed-door meeting for electors sparks controversy, safety concerns
A Republican state lawmaker is frustrated that Monday s Electoral College meeting in Lansing to formalize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of Michigan will take place behind locked doors at the state Capitol.
State Sen. Michael MacDonald, R-Macomb Township, said he is in opposition to and am outraged by a decision from the Michigan State Capitol Commission and Michigan Democratic Party
to hold the convening of the state s 16 presidential electors inside the Capitol while the building is closed to the public.
Democrats and electors said the meeting is being done without people in the gallery of the state Senate chamber and the building closed due to security reasons given the political climate and COVID-19 restrictions. Biden won Michigan by more than 154,000 votes amid unproven allegations by President Donald Trump that there was widespread voter fraud in the state.
