Discrepancies in the count could be used by county canvassing boards in swing states as a reason not to certify elections.

There is broad concern that despite the checks and balances built into the voting system, Republican members of state and county boards tasked with certifying elections will be driven by conspiracy theories.

Michigan 's election board is tasked with certifying elections at both the county and state levels.

Two GOP members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially refused to certify more than 800,000 votes cast during the 2020 presidential election.

They formed one of the bases for the lie that the election was stolen in favor of Democrat Joe Biden .

One of the leading voices questioning the integrity of Wisconsin ’s elections is named Jefferson Davis .

“I don’t care if you beat me in an election, as long as you don't cheat or steal or compromise or whatever,” Davis says.

He points out inflated voter lists, noncitizens voting and harvesting ballots from people in long-term care.
