OMINOUS! OMG!!!!!!

OMINOUS: Mich. GOP state Rep. Gary Eisen tells a radio interviewer that there's some kind of "Hail Mary" effort underway regarding today's elector ceremony. "It'll be all over the news later," he says and declines to say there won't be violence in Lansinghttps://t.co/VOPpuKGNoV

Or, you know, not ominous:

“The Electors are already here, they’ve been checked in.” Michigan State Police are blocking access to the Capitol, preventing the GOP Electors from getting inside #Michigan #ElectoralCollege #ElectoralCollegeVote pic.twitter.com/GzTK5gGCJ1

“Per the governor’s office, per the Speaker of the House, per the Speaker of the Senate, the Capitol is closed unless you have an office here to conduct business today or you are taking part in the Electoral College process,” an officer explains to the GOP activists.

 “We’re electors!” someone in the group exclaims. 

“The electors are already here,” the officer replies. “They’ve been checked in.”

 “Not all of them,” the group complains. 

 “The Capitol is closed,” the officer announces, pointing out that “all 16 electors” are already in the building.

“But the GOP electors!” a man protests.

That went about as well as could be expected, I suppose.

And just to tie it up with ribbon and a bow:
