A key Repub­li­can on the Michi­gan can­vass­ing board is expect­ed to vote against cer­ti­fy­ing the state’s elec­tion results on Mon­day, a poten­tial boon for the Trump cam­paign’s con­spir­a­cy the­o­ry-fueled effort to delay the final­iza­tion of results.

Accord­ing to Michi­gan GOP Rep. Paul Mitchell, who said he spoke days ago with Nor­man Shin­kle, one of the two GOP mem­bers on the board, Shin­kle indi­cat­ed last week he would vote against cer­ti­fy­ing the elec­tion results until an inves­ti­ga­tion is com­plet­ed so as to push a delay even though there is no evi­dence of fraud or malfea­sance that would neces­si­tate such a move.
Shin­kle told the New York Times that he had received hun­dreds of mes­sages both favor­ing and oppos­ing certification.
