"Every single legal vote needs to be counted, regardless of who cast it or who they voted for," said Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R-Levering), according to the Daily Journal.
"And then the candidate who wins the most of those votes will win Michigan's electoral votes, just like it always has been. Nothing about that process will change in 2020," he continued.
Multiple allegations of election fraud, typos, and glitches were made after the election on Tuesday.
"Questions followed after a software glitch initially gave roughly 5,000 votes cast for President Donald Trump to former Vice President Joe Biden in Antrim County, sparking a manual recount," the newspaper said.
In a statement Friday, state Sen. Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) wrote,
"One candidate seems to be willing to pour gas on every potential fear and doubt about the integrity of the system while the other seems uninterested in some very troubling reports and witness testimony. We need to let the system we have work through these problems. It will take time and involve lawyers and arguments: that's ok and has worked before in contested elections."
