Wow. I looked at what happened there a few months back. It's pretty clear that they have a good argument to toss Detroit votes.
Michigan board vote may mandate state takeover of Detroit electionsMichigan law states there cannot be a recount in an area where the poll books are out of balance. The issues in Detroit may foreshadow potential problems in a state where the 2016 presidential election was decided by roughly 10,000.

flip flop ..
Wayne Co. canvassers certify election results after initial deadlockThe Wayne County Board of Canvassers abruptly changed course Tuesday night and certified the results of the Nov. 3 election after initially deadlocking 2-2 along party lines, which could have delayed the state process for authorizing results.
The deadlock decision had been lauded by Republicans but decried by Democrats. During a public comment session, the vote was described as a targeted attack on majority-Black Detroit.
After hours of angry responses from Wayne County residents,the change in course wasapproved by the two Republican and two Democratic canvassers with the demand that the Secretary of State's office conduct a "comprehensive audit" of "unexplained precincts."
The high-stakes vote, with the eyes of the nation on Michigan's largest county, apparently took place while the video stream for the virtual meeting wasn't working.
"That passed unanimously," Republican board member William Hartmann said when the video began functioning again. "We just voted on that."
Moments later, he said, "We're going to adjourn," and the board ended its meeting at 9:08 p.m.
Minutes after that, President Donald Trump tweeted, based on the past deadlocked vote, "Wow! Michigan just refused to certify the election results! Having courage is a beautiful thing. The USA stands proud!"
The votes came after absentee ballot poll books at 70% of Detroit's 134 absentee counting boards were found to be out of balance without explanation. The mismatches varied anywhere from one to more than four votes.
In August, canvassers found 72% of Detroit's absentee voting precincts didn't match the number of ballots cast. The imbalances between August and November are not an exact comparison since August's canvassing was based on results from 503 precincts and November's canvassing was based on 134 counting boards.

Yup, just like that. How easily one can change their minds in a time where convictions are necessary.
Ezekiel 33 (11-18-2020)
Yeah, I don't expect the legal/administrative system of Michigan - or any other state or region - to save this election for us. Few judges or officials are willing to risk the intense persecution that will follow for years to come if they rule in favor of Trump.
This election was, unfortunately, essentially lost by the morning of 11/4. If things weren't going Trump's way by then, they weren't ever going to.
Apparently they HAVE NOT signed off..
Ezekiel 33 (11-19-2020)
What is the point of changing vote but not signing? So is it certified or not? They might as well vote no.
