John James, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate for Michigan, submitted a request to the Michigan State Board of Canvassers on Nov. 20, asking the board to take an additional two weeks to fully audit the election results by Dec. 7, before certifying the result.
James contests the results of his race against Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) in the Nov. 3 election and hasn’t conceded yet. The unofficial result shows that James is behind Peters by around 92,000 votes or a gap of about 1.7 percent.
