(Michigan Advance) Following overwhelming victories in a recall election last week, the Republican members of the Delta County Board of Canvassers are refusing to certify the election results.

“What they’re doing is putting doubt in our local election people, which is sad because these are our family and our neighbors and our friends and their honesty and integrity is being questioned by these people with absolutely no merit,” said Kelli Van Ginhoven, one of three challengers who defeated three Republican members of the Delta County Board of Commissioners on May 7.

Unofficial results indicated that Van Ginhoven, a Democrat, and independent candidates Myra Croasdell and Matt Jensen, each defeated Republican Commissioners David Moyle, Robert Barron, and Robert Petersen by an approximately 3-1 margin. The incumbents were targeted for recall after they voted in February 2023 to fire County Administrator Emily DeSalvo.

3. Delta County Board of Canvassers certifies recall election results

ESCANABA, Mich. (WLUC) - The Delta County Board of Canvassers certified the May 7 recall election results at a meeting Friday evening in the 47th Circuit Courtroom.

Three of the four members needed to vote ‘Yes’ to certify the election. Only one board member, Bonnie Hakkola, did not vote.

This decision comes after two members initially refused to certify the results of the county’s May 7 recall election. The two Republican canvassers, Hakkola and LeeAnne Oman, refused to certify at a meeting Tuesday. Hakkola said the results were too close.
