Monica Palmer and William Hartmann - who serve as the two Republican members on the four-person Wayne County Board of Canvassers - sparked outrage on Tuesday when they initially declared they would not sign off on their district's ballot count which had Joe Biden ahead by 148,000 votes.
The pair were subsequently lambasted in a Zoom meeting by Ned Staebler, a prominent Michigan businessman who worked as a poll watcher in the large county, which encompasses the city of Detroit.

'I just want to let you know that the Trump stink, the stain of racism that you have covered yourself in, is going to follow you throughout history,' Staebler raged, noting that the pair specifically refused to certify results in Detroit, which has a population that is around 80 percent black.

He pointed out that despite the fact there were larger discrepancies between votes cast and counted in that area, the pair appeared to have no qualms in certifying results from a nearby city which was 95 percent white.
Staebler further referenced that Hartmann and Palmer had previously certified a primary election earlier this year which had larger discrepancies than those found in the November 3 presidential election.

'You will forever be known in southeastern Michigan as two racists who did something so unprecedented that they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of black voters in the city of Detroit, because they were ordered to,' Staebler raged.

FIFTH VICTIM FOUND AND IDENTIFIED IN KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
Shortly after Stabler's stinging rebuke, both the Republicans back-flipped. They agreed to sign off on the ballot count in Wayne County and delivered a crushing blow to President Trump in his quest to contest the outcome of the election.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump and other Republicans were overjoyed at news and believed the act would embolden other conservative officials in key states to take similar action, potentially delaying or preventing Biden from becoming President.
But mere minutes after that tweet, Hartmann and Palmer spectacularly flip-flopped and agreed to certify the election results.
According to The Detroit Free Press, their certification is contingent on having 'the Michigan Democratic Secretary of State conduct an independent comprehensive audit of all of the jurisdictions in the county that recorded unexplained discrepancies between the number of absentee ballots recorded as cast and the number of absentee ballots counted.'
