Is this true? Trump's lawyer may have mistaken Minnesota precincts for Michigan precincts?

I saw this as a reply in another post and thought it should have a post of its own. The article starts off sounding like it's in Trump's favor. In fact at one point it claims there was voter fraud in the election. But as you read it, it starts to discuss how a mix- up in data from Minnesota may have been used to make complaints of voter fraud in Michigan.

“Here’s the problem: the townships and precincts listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 of the affidavit are not in Michigan. They are in Minnesota,” Hinderaker declared. “Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Kandiyohi–these are all towns in Minnesota.”

A postscript: has Mr. Ramsland inadvertently stumbled across evidence of voter fraud in Minnesota? I seriously doubt it. The venues in question are all in red Greater Minnesota, not in the blue urban areas where voter fraud is common.

Monticello and Albertville, MN are in the middle of the 6th District, formerly represented by Michelle Bachmann, noted conservative crazy lady.

and if you mirror MI around the top axis you get WI! And Trump's team is calling for a recount in WI! Conspiracy! Open your eyes sheeple!!! Hugo and Cesar Chavez are stealing the election!!!!!

But then Trump's crack legal team (or his legal team on crack) managed to mix up the Philadelphia Four Seasons Hotel with Four Seasons Total Landscaping, so yeah, they probably don't know the difference between Minnesota and Michigan (hint: Minnesota has more mosquitoes)
