Trump allies to Michigan judge: Force Gov. Whitmer to overturn Biden's win, give state to president
Source: USA Today
Allies of President Donald Trump want a federal court in Michigan to force state leaders to set aside election results and award its 16 electoral votes to the president.
A separate conservative group also wants the Michigan Supreme Court to invalidate the results that show President-elect Joe Biden won the state.
The latest lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Michigan and before the state's highest court, rely on unfounded allegations of widespread fraud and misconduct that judges in the state and across the country have previously rejected. Neither has a high likelihood of success.
There is no evidence of mass fraud or wrongdoing that affected election operations in Michigan or elsewhere. Biden earned roughly 154,000 more votes than Trump in Michigan.

(6,228 posts)bullsh**. The votes have been certified. Both parties at their state conventions pick their electors. Whichever candidate wins, their party's electors vote in the Electoral College. They are waiting to do that on Dec 14th for Biden who won by 154,000 votes. Governor Whitmer is not going to go against the will of the voters. I sometimes just want to scream when will it end?

(3,654 posts)because the author has totally lost control of the narrative.
They seem to be stuck in some idea and not one of their early readers had the courage to tell them "cut" 2/3 of it. It's boring and makes no sense. I love suspense novels, but they have to be related to reality or I just get bored. Unfortunately, I'm not 'bored' with Trump and his attorneys. I just want them to shut the F up. I'm more than tired of hearing about them. This 'story' has gone beyond the bounds of believable.
I just wish I could flip through these 'sections' of the story and get back to a believable narrative.

(10,039 posts)had survey done and discovered that 2 feet of my lot was actually his lot and built a fence encompassing that two feet; how long do you think the local court would put up with me constantly suing him, based on whatever I as thinking that day, to remove the fence before kicking my ass to the curb or worse? This is a mockery!

(495 posts)In a sworn affidavit, a witness claims that they saw someone carrying multiple bags from DoorDash enter a publicly inaccessible office, but no one asked the witness if they wanted anything to eat, which is evidence that the delivery was illegal votes for Joe Biden and not the Beef Pad Prik, medium spice that the witness dropped SEVERAL hints about all throughout the vote counting process.
Lou Dobbs' guest Sydney Powell will be on the whole hour to discuss the ramifications of this breaking development and the dire threat it poses to Democracy, Inc. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani will be hosting a formal hearing for Michigan GOP lawmakers and Miss USA contestants at Goober's Filling Station on Old Towne Road on Wednesday, Dec 2, 2020 at 3:00 am.

(4,787 posts)It was announced last week along with one in Georgia, but it may not have been physically filed until this week. (It was announced before it was filed, and some sort of copy was given out by Powell.)
They've since announced one in Wisconsin; I don't know the filing status of that one.

(121 posts)If a state voted for Biden/Harris, the vote was rigged. Every state that went to Biden should be called for Trump. The only people who voted for Biden were communists and illegal immigrants. Trump won the entire electoral college. Trump is incapable of losing even one electoral vote unless there's massive fraud against him.

BTW, I don't think it's quite accurate that "neither lawsuit stands a high likelihood of success;" I'd say they don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.

(11,563 posts)..."full faith and credit?" That a recognized and appropriate judicial body has found this to be without merit, which should mean that all courts of similar "rank" (not appeals courts, for example) will refuse to even hear the case, barring credible new evidence that will be compelling enough to reopen the case.
I stipulate that I am NO expert in US law.
