Michigan’s Board of Canvassers voted to certify the state’s election on Monday evening amid GOP calls to delay over allegations of irregularities.

Republican Norm Shinkle, a member of the board, abstained from the vote. One Republican, Vice Chairman Aaron Van Langevelde, joined two Democrats to certify.
