WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, Sept. 2, the Macomb County Republican Party, a candidate for Michigan governor, a non-profit organization, voters and a county clerk — who allegedly turned over a vote tabulator to a group espousing unfounded claims of fraud in Michigan’s 2020 election — filed a federal lawsuit challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election in Michigan. In their complaint, the plaintiffs claim that the electronic voting machines and tabulators used during the 2020 presidential election “were not certified or accredited in accordance with” Michigan election law nor were they “certified by the US Election Assistance Commission.” Accordingly, the plaintiffs request that the state “rerun the Michigan 2020 presidential election as soon as possible, by way of a special election, with paper ballots only, on a single election day, with the votes being counted by hand, with members of all political parties present to observe, with a public livestream of all vote counting.”

Among other baseless and outlandish claims, the plaintiffs allege that the 2020 election was conducted in an “unlawful and illegal” manner and should not have been certified because Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) lacked the authority to hold elections under “uncertified” electronic voting machines. This lawsuit comes nearly two years after a previous federal lawsuit in which Republicans attempted, but ultimately failed, to decertify the results of Michigan’s 2020 presidential election. Despite President Joe Biden’s decisive 154,000 vote victory in Michigan in 2020, Republicans remain unrelenting in their efforts to challenge this outcome and continue to promulgate conspiracy theories about rampant fraud in the 2020 election in Michigan and other states.

Insanity.

[Irish_Dem]

1. Not enough money to feed hungry school children, but always enough $$ for this crap.

[Ocelot II]

2. Jesus on a pogo stick, how is *that* supposed to work?

Fuck me dead, how do I get out of this lunatic asylum?

[GoCubsGo]

12. It's supposed to work the same way Trump got his "Special Master" ruling.

Shop for one of the unqualified judges Dear Leader installed, and let them rule in your favor, no matter how ludicrous your request. The Cannon decision has only emboldened these fuckers.

[BSdetect]

3. Surely there is some way to clamp down of spurious attempts like this?

[Nevilledog]

10. My suggestion: If you file a frivolous election case you lose your citizenship.

Not just voting rights cuz these fuckers don't really care about voting.

[orleans]

4. omg! hey republicans: "move on!"

really is insanity

[Samrob]

5. When people have too much money to waste, they waste money. nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

6. Sue who (okay, "whom")? I thought maybe Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, but I was wrong.

GRETCHEN WHITMER, in her official capacity as the Governor of Michigan, and
JOCELYN BENSON, in her official capacity as Michigan Secretary of State

[Meadowoak]

7. Too stupid to realize, Trump would just get beat worse than

He did the first time.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. This is a very dumb lawsuit

[rsdsharp]

9. Can you say laches, boys and girls?

Sure you can.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. This lawsuit and these people are certifiable...just saying

[Ray Bruns]

13. Where do these people get the money to do this crap?

[llmart]

18. I'll bet I know where some of it comes from.

The DeVos family.

[Initech]

14. These morons won't be satisfied with anything.

So fuck them.

[Frasier Balzov]

15. The attorney who filed this has really put their license on the line.

Cannot they not see what happened to Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani?

[Ray Bruns]

16. I guess this is going to be the new "Obama's birth certificate" scam

[louis-t]

17. More ketchup thrown at the wall.

These people are morons.

[rockbluff botanist]

19. Miraculous powers of Democrats

Why do the ignorant low life trash never question their own elections? Why not down ballot corruption too? If we had the miraculous power to change one election, wouldn't we change them all in our favor?

Logic is a bridge too far for the low life.

[EnergizedLib]

20. It has to be this time, right?

All of their other attempts failed, but this time will definitely count, right? They'll definitely get it overturned now, right?

[mopinko]

21. let's put them on the same bus as couy griffin.

knock every one of those fuckers off the ballot.
aiding and abetting the worst domestic enemy ever.

[rockfordfile]

22. Those people are idiots

[onecaliberal]

23. The attorney who filed this should be disbarred. Today!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Okay

[Aristus]

25. These ham-hocks just don't seem to realize that even if they were successful,

they would render their oleaginous god ineligible to run in 2024.

[MissMillie]

26. Apparently MORE lawyers are hungry for sanctions

One would have thought that the sanctions to Krakken Lady would have scared them off.

[scipan]

28. I'm going to file a complaint

that says I meant to invest in Amazon back in 1995 but just forgot or something, but now I want a do over.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. I'm all for paper ballots everywhere, except this particular special election is a waste.

The only part that electronic devices should play in an election is to make it easier for voters to fill out a paper ballot that will get counted by people with the public watching the count.
