Overturning
elections sounds like the stuff of secret deals in smoke-filled rooms, but President Donald Trump's not even trying to hide his effort to subvert the results of the election as President-elect Joe Biden's margin widens to more than 6 million votes. Trump's efforts to deny Biden the White House traveled from the courts to state legislatures on Friday with Trump's personal reception with Republican lawmakers from Michigan -- and their counterparts in Pennsylvania may be next on the list.
But there were signs, even among Republicans, that Trump's efforts need some evidence.
"As legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan's electors, just as we have said throughout this election," Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield said in a joint statement after their meeting at the White House.
