Michigan Judge Flatly Rejects 'Last of the Lawsuits Attempting to Undermine Democracy
A judge in Michigan dismissed a lawsuit on Monday that was recently promoted by former president Donald Trump as a major case.
The lawsuit, which aimed to force a new audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Antrim County, apparently wasnt strong enough to live past a motion to dismiss filed by Michigans secretary of state and the Antrim County clerks office.
Thirteenth Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ruled that the lawsuit filed by Michigan resident Bill Bailey lacks the legal grounds to move forward due to a statewide post-election audit that finished up in March, according to Cadillac-based CBS affiliate WWTV.
There is no right, either in the constitutional section, or in the statute, for the independent audit that Mr. Bailey seeks as a petitioner under article 2 section 4, the court noted. The plaintiff does not get to choose his own audit criteria, rather the legislature is given that authority. So while a citizen may seek to audit the results of the statewide election, it must do so according to the law. That law provides for performance of the audit by the Secretary of State. There is no other relief available to the plaintiff on this point.

Trump is like that crazy person you see at the side of the road yelling at traffic.
