"We're in this weird world where Team Trump keeps trying to steal the election, but they're so bad at it that a lot of us don't seem to be bothered by the fact that they’re trying to steal an election." @Mehdirhasan on the madness in Michigan today:

Mehdi asks former MI GOP exec director @jefftimmer about Trump's gambit in the state: "Would you call this a coup or a coup attempt?" "Well it could certainly rise to that," Timmer says, "but I mean, right now it's a clown car. And I don't mean that to be insulting to clowns."

"I'm not at all confident that they'll certify the election," @JeffTimmer says of his former colleagues in the Michigan GOP. "They have an obligation to certify the election results. A court will likely *tell* them to certify the election results."

Oh. I’m bothered all right. It’s not unlike the first two years of this nightmare when all of Congress was going about their business like this is all normal. It’s what brought me to sign back in to Twitter. I needed some normal, eyes wide open, enraged people.

Clearly they’re trying to get the Republican state legislature to overturn the election results by having an alternate slate of electors cast the state’s electoral college votes for Trump, even though he lost. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that they can steal it.
