The two Republicans in Michigan who are on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers reportedly want to rescind their votes after they voted to certify the county’s election results late last night after initially voting to not certify the results, which led to a 2-2 deadlock.

“In affidavits signed on Wednesday evening, the two GOP members of the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers allege that they were improperly pressured into certifying the election and accused Democrats of reneging on a promise to audit votes in Detroit,” The Washington Post reported. “Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat and the board’s vice chairman, told The Post that it’s too late for the pair to reverse course, as the certified results have already been sent to the secretary of state in accordance with state rules. He lashed out at the Republicans over their requests.”
