So if Wayne county is the only uncertified county, that just removes Detroit from the election.  The rest of the state voted heavily for Trump. so if those elections are certified and Wayne county isn't, it puts pressure on sending electors for Trump. Now that the board didn't certify, the Secretary of State can certify the election and everything moves forward like normal. But if they don't, for whatever reason, they could do a few things:  * Send Trump electors since all certified elections point to his victory * Recount or revote only in Wayne County in an attempt to certify Wayne county * Consider the whole election scrapped and recount or revote the whole state (likely impossible) * Have a political battle in Lansing about which electors to send ( Republicans barely control the legislature, Democrat governor ) * Send zero electors * Send mixed electors ( likely either 50-50 or slightly favoring Trump ) * Send "non-partisan" electors with the intention of giving instructions at the last minute.
