The campaign of President Donald Trump said Tuesday it is suing Michigan in federal court in an effort to prevent final certification of the state's election results, as Trump continues to refuse to concede to Joe Biden or accept the outcome of the race for the presidency.

The allegations of election misconduct are similar to those outlined in other lawsuits in Michigan and additional states. These lawsuits have largely not been successful; some incorporate allegations that have been debunked or refuted, either by the Free Press or elections officials.

Attorneys for the Trump campaign said late afternoon the new lawsuit would be filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. Although the bulk of the allegations appear to focus on Detroit, located on the other side of the state, the seat of state government in Lansing is located in the Western District.

As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, the lawsuit was not available in the federal court's online document system.

1. He should just do it by executive order.

Or issue a Trumpcipation Proclamation.

3. Trump is going to do this in every state where he is losing

It’s not going to work. My guess is that if any of these cases get to SCOTUS they won’t even agree to take them.

6. This one strikes me as pure PR

to get headlines in MI, etc.

Trump lost this state by something like 148,000 votes.

Courts are not going to take him very seriously unless he can demonstrate he has a chance of overturning the result with his case.

Overturn 150,000 votes with his scant BS on voter fraud that nobody at the various states say happened? Not going to happen.
