From the Detroit Free Press:
"State House and Senate office buildings will all be closed Monday during the meeting of the Electoral College due to security concerns, an official said Monday.
"The Capitol will also be closed to the public, as was announced earlier.
"Amber McCann, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, said the Senate closed its facilities for Monday "based on recommendations from law enforcement."
"The decision was not made because of anticipated protests, but based on credible threats of violence," McCann said late Sunday."
It goes on to say, "There have been unconfirmed reports of threats against Michigan delegates to the Electoral College, who are expected to cast their votes for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden at 2 p.m. Monday, from the Senate chamber."
It is worth noting, it was reported a couple of days ago that the Electors in Michigan would have a police escort as they go to the capitol, due to threats.
