On Monday, a group of Republican electors for President Donald Trump arrived at the Capitol in Michigan to cast their electoral college vote for the Commander in Chief, however, Michigan State Police blocked access to the chamber, preventing the GOP electors from getting inside. (The electors may have been an alternate slate of electors.)
