On Friday (November 20) Joe Gale announced on his Vote Joe Gale Facebook page, and also on his Joe Gale page, that he was refusing to certify the results of the election in Montgomery County. Gale holds the minority (Republican) seat on the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners.

Somehow, iharare.com (a website with a fairly large following in Zimbawe) got wind of the story and made it out to be a slightly bigger deal than it actually was.
While President Trump’s spirits might have been momentarily boosted when he learned of Commissioner Gale’s recalcitrance in this situation, this not going to do anything in the way preventing Pennsylvania’s 20 Electoral Votes from going to Joe Biden.
The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners is comprised of Gale and two Democrats, Ken Lawrence and Val Arkoosh. Gale, Lawrence and Arkoosh are also the three memebers of the county’s election board. So it’s very unlikely that Gale’s No Vote on certifying the election wind up having anything more than symbolic importance.
