Electoral College controversy
On the morning of December 14, 2020, the day that Michigan's electors to the Electoral College were set to meet at the capital, Eisen claimed on WPHM Radio there would be a "Hail Mary" effort regarding a plan to prevent electors from casting a vote. When asked if he can assure the public that it will be a safe day in Lansing, and that nobody would get hurt, Eisen replied, "No. I don't know. Because what we're doing today is uncharted."[7]
Shortly after the interview, Michigan Republican House speaker Lee Chatfield and Speaker-Elect Jason Wentworth released a statement disavowing any threat of violence or intimidation. The two leaders also announced that Eisen would be removed from his committee assignments for the rest of the term.[8] Shortly after, Eisen clarified his comments, stating his intent was to "help prevent violence, not promote it."[9]
