During a chaotic meeting that lasted over four hours, the state's bipartisan elections panel rebuffed calls Monday from losing candidates not to officially certify the recent midterm election in Michigan, and the panel unanimously accepted the results.

The vote by the Board of State Canvassers ? made up of two Democrats and two Republicans ? marks the first certification of a general election since the otherwise routine process garnered national attention two years ago, when allies of former President Donald Trump pressured GOP members not to certify the results and raised the prospect the panel might deadlock along partisan lines. But the board that year certified the election in a 3-0 vote with one GOP canvasser abstaining.

During a lengthy public comment period that followed the certification vote of the recent Nov. 8 midterm, some echoed those calls from 2020 not to certify the results, accused state canvassers of committing treason, pleaded for a so-called forensic audit and said that they would pray for members of the board.

Hours earlier, the board heard from several unsuccessful candidates, including GOP secretary of state candidate Kristina Karamo, who urged members of the Board of State Canvassers not to certify the election results.
